Cancer protein discovery may aid radiation therapy: Blocking cyclin D1 might help sensitize tumors to radiation

Scientists have uncovered a new role for a key cancer protein, cyclin D1, a finding that could pave the way for more-effective radiation treatment of a variety of tumors. They discovered that cyclin D1 can help cancer cells to quickly repair DNA damage caused by radiation treatments, making the tumors resistant to the therapy.
