Editorial: Chemo-Radiation-Resistance in Cancer Therapy
Xiaoping Lin, Kong De, Zhe‐Sheng Chen
Abstract
In recent years, technical advances in chemotherapy and radiotherapy have helped substantially improve the treatment outcome and quality of life of cancer patients. Nevertheless, successful cancer therapy remains a major challenge, particularly in tumors that are resistant to chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Searching the topic "Chemoradiation Resistance in Cancer Therapy" results in 34 articles (six reviews, 27 original research, and one brief research report) contributed by more than 262 authors with over 90000 views in all of time until 20 April 2022, in the fields of cancer diagnosis and therapeutics. Our aim was to generate a collaborative discussion contributing to the future direction of overcoming chemoradiation resistance and improve cancer patient care during chemoand/or radiation therapy.
