As @SorenBentzen keeps saying, absolute radioresistance does not exist. You just have to up the dose💪

That is very different from drug response, which is a yes/no situation - where more drug does not give you typically a better response (with caveats 😉)

Tumors can have variable radioresistance. Lab & human data indicate that relationship between dose + tumor eradication is sigmoid🚨

Really high doses are prohibited by tolerance of normal tissue surrounding the tumor‼️

= Rationale for pursuing targeted radiosensitizers💡
