Abstract:Inhibition of autophagy increases the sensitivity of
tumor cells
to radiotherapy and chemotherapy and improves the therapeutic effect
on tumors. Recently, photodynamic therapy (PDT) combined with chemotherapy
has been proven to further improve the efficiency of cancer treatment.
As such, combining autophagy inhibition with PDT and chemotherapy
may represent a potentially effective new strategy for cancer treatment.
However, currently widely studied autophagy inhibitors inevitably
produce various toxic side eff… Show more
