Core Tip	Autophagy is implicated as a mechanism of resistance to cancer treatment. We hypothesized that chloroquine, a lysosomotropic autophagy inhibitor, would sensitize colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines to both radiation therapy (RT) alone and concurrent chemoradiation. Our results showed that chloroquine decreased clonogenic survival of CRC cells when given in combination with RT or concurrent 5-fluorouracil and RT. Radiosensitization by chloroquine represents a novel therapeutic approach to enhance treatment efficacy in rectal cancer.
