Farnesyltransferase inhibitors as radiation sensitizers.
Activation of Ras, by mutation, overexpression, or by signaling through tyrosine kinase receptors, is associated with radioresistance. Thus, therapies that inhibit Ras function could be an effective means to radiosensitize selected types of solid tumors. Inhibition of Ras prenylation using a variety...
