Abstract
Repurposing agents approved for other indications to radiosensitize tumors may be advantageous. The study by Hill and colleagues utilizes nelfinavir, an HIV protease inhibitor (PI), in combination with radiotherapy in rectal cancer in a prospective study. This combination may improve tumor perfusion and regression compared with radiotherapy alone. ©2016 American Association for Cancer Research.Entities:
