Nafamostat mesilate, a nuclear factor kappa B inhibitor, enhances the antitumor action of radiotherapy on gallbladder cancer cells.

Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is a transcriptional factor that can be activated by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The synthetic protease inhibitor nafamostat mesilate (NM) inhibits NF-κB activity and exerts antitumor actions in various types of cancer. In the present study, we hypothesized that NM...
