“…Hence, PARPi's could be applicable to a wide therapeutic range of LET radiation therapies, as a radio‐sensitiser through its DNA repair effects. Furthermore, fluzoparib, a novel PARPi, significantly increases the radio‐sensitivity of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells without BRCA1/2 mutations, through underlying mechanisms involved in enhanced apoptosis, G2/M phase arrest, increased IR‐induced DNA lesions, and delayed DDR activity, which breaks the definition that only patients with mutated BRCA1/2 could benefit from PARPi, thus extend the clinical application to more solid tumours and benefit more patients (Luo et al, 2019). Taken together, these data suggest that inhibitors disrupting DNA repair pathways could be promising options in increasing the therapeutic effect of RT.…”
