Non-nitro radiation sensitizers.

Abstract

A review of the literature on radiosensitization reveals that at least some of the non-nitro compounds, such as metabolic inhibitors and membrane-active drugs, could be considered as potentially valuable radiosensitizers for possible use in future cancer radiotherapy.
