NCIt definition : A synthetic small molecule with radiosensitizing activity. Efaproxiral increases oxygen
levels in hypoxic tumor tissues by binding non-covalently to the hemoglobin tetramer
and decreasing hemoglobin-oxygen binding affinity. Increasing tumor oxygenation reduces
tumor radioresistance. (NCI04);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A drug that may increase the effectiveness of radiation therapy.;
