Interaction of CDK1 inhibitors in combination with radiation treatment and chemotherapy. CDK1 overactivity stimulates DNA damage repair and the proliferation of cells despite DNA damage (via cell cycle checkpoint evasion), leading to survival of cancer cells. CDK1 inhibitors combat this effect, stimulating the pathway from DNA damage which leads to apoptosis.
