Cytotoxicity and Radiosensitizing Activity of the Fatty Acid Synthase Inhibitor C75 Is Enhanced by Blocking Fatty Acid Uptake in Prostate Cancer Cells

Prostate cancers, like many other types of cancer, express elevated levels of fatty acid synthase (FASN) to make more fatty acids, which are required for energy, signaling, and proliferation. Because inhibition of FASN has been shown to sensitize tumors to chemotherapy and radiation, we studied the...
