Researchers find that Norstictic acid is a potent inhibitor of growth. Researchers, also find that Norstictic acid increases sensitivity of cells to radiation and this effect is significant at a radiation intensity lower than the standard intensity of cancer radiotherapy. On the basis of this study, Norstictic acid shows promise for combined-modality cancer treatment. ER -
