Radiosensitizing Nucleosides [PDF]
JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 1996 Chemotherapeutic drugs that perturb nucleotide metabolism have the potential to produce substantial sensitization of tumor cells to radiation treatment. The process is called radiosensitization, and the agents that induce it are called radiosensitizers.

Anti-tubulin drugs conjugated to anti-ErbB antibodies selectively radiosensitize. [PDF]
, 2016 Tumour resistance to radiotherapy remains a barrier to improving cancer patient outcomes. To overcome radioresistance, certain drugs have been found to sensitize cells to ionizing radiation (IR).
