Abstract:

Radiotherapy exerts therapeutic effects on tumors by killing cancer cells through the ionizing radiation effect of high-energy rays. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), whose expression is increased in irradiated tissues, plays a dual regulatory role by decreasing radiosensitivity and reversing radiation resistance. TGF-β also has a role in the tumor microenvironment to promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and induce immune escape of tumor cells and radiofibrosis in normal tissues. This paper discusses the dual role of TGF-β in radiotherapy, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for radiotherapy.

Key words: Transforming growth factor-beta, Tumor, Radiotherapy
