Research Progress on Energy Metabolism and Radiosensitivity of Glioma

Radiotherapy is an important auxiliary treatment for glioma. Although comprehensive treatment of glioma has made some progress in recent years, the prognosis is still poor. How to improve the radiosensitivity of glioma is one of the hot spots in current glioma research. The changes of energy metabolism in gliomas promote malignant progression and resistance to chemoradiotherapy, but the exact mechanism is still unclear. This paper reviews the research progress of energy metabolism in gliomas and its relation with radiosensitivity of gliomas, in order to lay a foundation for further exploration of improving radiosensitivity of gliomas.
