COX-2 in Radiotherapy: A Potential Target for Radioprotection and Radiosensitization.

TL;DR: The role of COX-2 in radiation normal tissue injury as well as irradiated bystander and non-targeted cells is described and mechanisms of COx-2 induced tumor resistance to radiotherapy and the potential role ofCOX- 2 inhibition are discussed.
