Abstract
The present invention relates to a biomarker composition for diagnosing radiation-resistant cancer comprising PMVK as an active ingredient and a method of diagnosing radiation-resistant cancer using the same, and when the PMVK is knocked down, it is confirmed that the survival rate of cancer cells decreases during radiation treatment, and based on this, the possibility as a factor related to radiation therapy resistance to cancer was suggested, and the PMVK can be used as a new target to enhance the effect of radiation therapy on human cancer cells.
