Abstract
Oral cancer remains a significant global health concern and its early detection plays a crucial role in improving patient outcomes. Identifying reliable prognostic markers is essential to guide treatment decisions and enhance survival rates. Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA), a glycolytic enzyme, has emerged as a promising candidate for prognostic assessment of oral cancer. This review highlights the role of FBA in tumorigenesis, its potential utility in predicting disease progression and patient survival, and its influence on response to radiotherapy. Recent studies have suggested that dysregulated metabolic pathways involving FBA may contribute to radiation resistance in oral cancer, emphasizing the need for further exploration of FBA-targeted therapeutic strategies. Understanding the role of FBA in oral cancer pathogenesis could pave the way for the development of personalized treatment strategies, including combined radiotherapy.
期刊介绍：
Radiotherapy and Oncology publishes papers describing original research as well as review articles. It covers areas of interest relating to radiation oncology. This includes: clinical radiotherapy, combined modality treatment, translational studies, epidemiological outcomes, imaging, dosimetry, and radiation therapy planning, experimental work in radiobiology, chemobiology, hyperthermia and tumour biology, as well as data science in radiation oncology and physics aspects relevant to oncology.Papers on more general aspects of interest to the radiation oncologist including chemotherapy, surgery and immunology are also published.
