Radiotherapy is the primary treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), but radioresistance remains a serious obstacle to successful treatment in many cases. Therefore, the biomarkers for predicting NPC response to radiotherapy are very important for targeted therapy and individualized radiotherapy of NPC. Accumulating evidences have shown that Annexin A1 was correlated with NPC radioresistance. First, Annexin A1 is a potential tumor suppressor gene, and can regulate tumor cell proliferation and apoptosis, thus abnormal expression of Annexin A1 in NPC affects apoptosis of tumor cells induced...
