More than 70% of cancer patients receive radiotherapy during their treatment, with consequent various side effects on normal cells due to high ionizing radiation doses despite tumor shrinkage. To date, many radioprotectors and radiosensitizers have been investigated in preclinical studies, but their use has been hampered by the high toxicity to normal cells or poor tumor radiosensitization effects. Genistein is a naturally occurring isoflavone found in soy products.

The introduction of new radiation technologies in modern radiotherapy of cancer patients is still in some cases associated with the risk of developing early and distant complications in healthy tissues surrounding the tumour. The causes of their occurrence, pathogenesis and radiobiological characteristics are reviewed and briefly described. The rate of the manifestation of complications depends on the radiosensitivity of tissues and is determined by the amount of absorbed dose of ionizing radiation.

The increasing use of radiation presents a risk of radiation exposure, making the development of radioprotectors necessary. In the previous study, it is investigated that Deinococcus radiodurans (R1-EVs) exert the antioxidative properties. However, the radioprotective activity of R1-EVs remains unclear.

Unlabelled: It is beyond doubt that radiotherapy is extremely effective in treating a wide variety of cancers. The sensitivity of the surrounding normal tissues limits the amount of radiation administered to the tumor. There is an urgent need to develop a treatment that combines pharmacological treatment with ionizing radiation (IR) specifically designed to specifically target cancer cells while protecting the surrounding normal tissue, resulting in an increase in the efficacy of the cancer treatment.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), byproducts of cellular metabolism and environmental factors, are linked to diseases like cancer and aging. Antioxidant peptides (AOPs) have emerged as effective countermeasures against ROS-induced damage. The genus is well known for its extraordinary resilience to ionizing radiation (IR) and possesses complex antioxidant systems designed to neutralize ROS generated by IR.
