Résumé
Autophagy is an innate cellular process characterized by self-digestion, wherein cells degrade or recycle aged proteins, misfolded proteins, and damaged organelles via lysosomal pathways. Its crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis, ensuring development and survival is well established. In the context of cancer therapy, autophagy's importance is firmly recognized, given its critical impact on treatment efficacy. Following radiotherapy, several factors can modulate autophagy including parameters related to radiation type and delivery methods. The concomitant use of chemotherapy with radiotherapy further influences autophagy, potentially either enhancing radiosensitivity or promoting radioresistance. This review article discusses some pharmacological agents and drugs capable of modulating autophagy levels in conjunction with radiation in tumor cells, with a focus on those identified as potential radiosensitizers in glioblastoma multiforme treatment.
