Abstract:: When radiation is combined with concurrent chemotherapy, independent cell kill and enhancement of tumor response may be expected. On the other hand, spatial cooperation may be the main rationale for sequential combination of the two modalities. Among many new agents being investigated, radiation-activated antitumor prodrugs have a therapeutic potential as a new method to effectively combine radiation and concurrent chemotherapy.
