Radiotherapy is known to work better if sensitisers are used on the cancer cells first. Cisplatin is a good example of such a sensitiser, although less aggressive sensitisers include Hyperbaric Oxygen and resveratrol. And now blueberries, which contain resveratrol.
The research was just an in vitro lab study using cervical cancer cells but blueberry use was shown to result in more cells being killed by the Radiotherapy.
