Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Radiotherapy is generally effective against cancer, however distant metastasis cannot be controlled by radiotherapy alone. Our experiments are studied to develop new radiotherapy combined with 4-Methylumbelliferone (MU) in order to prevent metastasis of cancer cells. On this study, the treatment of radiation combined with MU showed anti-cancer and anti-metastatic effects compared with radiation alone. MU is hoped to apply in a clinical setting as anti-metastatic drug on radiotherapy.
