Ionising radiotherapy is a well-established, effective cancer treatment modality, whose efficacy has improved with the application of newer technological modalities. However, patient outcomes are governed and potentially limited by aspects of tumour... Read More about Exploring hypoxic biology to improve radiotherapy outcomes.

The role of glucosinolates from cruciferous vegetables (Brassicaceae) in gastrointestinal cancers: from prevention to therapeutics (2022)
Journal Article
Melim, C., Lauro, M., Pires, I. M., Oliveira, P., & Cabral, C. (2022). The role of glucosinolates from cruciferous vegetables (Brassicaceae) in gastrointestinal cancers: from prevention to therapeutics. Pharmaceutics, 14(1), Article 190. https://doi.org/10.3390/pharmaceutics14010190

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is composed of rapidly renewing cells, which increase the likelihood of cancer. Colorectal cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed GI cancers and currently stands in second place regarding cancer-related mortali...
