Cover Story: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most prevalent type of lung cancer, making up about 85% of all lung cancer cases. Tumour angiogenesis has been intensely studied as a target for NSCLC treatment and several anti-angiogenic drugs, such as recombinant endostatin (RE), have been proposed to induce tumour growth inhibition with mixed results. Recently, a renewed interest in RE has emerged, due to its ability to create a vascular normalization window, which results in radiosensitivity enhancement by improving the hypoxic tumour microenvironment. This review provides a timely overview of preclinical and clinical studies that combine RE and radiotherapy for NSCLC treatment, while highlighting the ongoing challenges that must be overcome in order to maximize the benefits of this treatment; as well as the potential advantage of combinations with particle therapy. View this paper
