摘要: The introduction of small molecule BRAF(V600) kinase inhibitors represents a milestone in the targeted therapy patients with metastatic melanoma by significant increase therapeutic efficacy terms overall and progression-free survival compared conventional chemotherapy. Beside inhibitor treatment, radiotherapy is further mainstay for thus concomitant or sequential application inevitable. Recent reports show radiosensitization irradiated healthy tissue after combination inhibitors, evoking concern clinical practice. We review interactions radiation regard to antitumor effects an increased radiotoxicity tissue.
