Androgen Induces Adaptation to Oxidative Stress in Prostate Cancer: Implications for Treatment with Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy is a standard treatment for prostate cancer (PC). The postulated mechanism of action for radiation therapy is the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Adjuvant androgen deprivation (AD) therapy has been shown to confer a survival advantage over radiation alone in high-risk...
