Hedgehog inhibition mediates radiation sensitivity in mouse xenograft models of human esophageal adenocarcinoma.

BACKGROUND:The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is active in esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). We used a patient-derived murine xenograft (PDX) model of EAC to evaluate tumour response to conventional treatment with radiation/chemoradiation with or without Hh inhibition. Our goal was to determine the...
