Abstract
Background: Radiation therapy plays an important role in the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the radiocurability is greatly limited because of radioresistance which leads to treatment failure, tumor recurrence, and metastasis. Cancer stem cell (CSC) has been identified as the main factor that contributes to radiation resistance. SOX2, one of the transcription factors specifically expressed in CSC, is involved in tumorigenesis, progression, and maintenance of cell stemness. But the association between SOX2 and NSCLC radioresistance is not clear now.Keywords
