Unlabelled: Abstract Purpose: Sensitizing cancer cells to irradiation is a major challenge in clinical oncology. We aimed to define the signal transduction pathways involved in poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor-induced radiosensitization in various mammalian cancer lines.
Materials And Methods: Clonogenic survival assays and Western blot examinations were performed following telecobalt irradiation of cancer cells in the presence or absence of various combinations of PARP- and selective mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors.

Background: Changes in salivary flow rate were studied in head and neck (H and N) cancer patients who, after receiving moderately accelerated radiotherapy (RT) and concurrent chemotherapy (CT), were free of disease at 1 year.
Materials And Methods: Between July 2003 and July 2005, saliva estimation was performed for 36 patients of locally advanced (AJCC stages III and IV) squamous cell carcinoma of the H and N. RT, moderately accelerated (70 Gy/35 fx/6 weeks) along with concurrent weekly cisplatin at 35 mg/m 2 (capped at 50 mg) with standard hydration and anti-emetic cover, was planned using conventional planning on telecobalt or 6 MV photons.
