Described herein are methods for reducing or maintaining the size of a tumor in a subject, where the method involves exposing the tumor to ionizing radiation and administering to the subject a modified hyaluronan or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester. The use of the modified hyaluronan enhances or potentiates the effect of ionizing radiation used in cancer treatment. Additionally, the methods described herein prevent or reduces tumor regrowth in the subject after exposing the tumor to ionizing radiation and administration of the modified hyaluronan to the subject.
Described herein are methods for preventing a relapse of cancer in a subject. The methods involve administering to the subject in need thereof a sulfated glycosaminoglycan or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof. In one aspect, the methods described herein prevent the growth or self-renewal of cancer stem cells in a subject. In another aspect, the methods described herein kill active or dormant cancer stem cells in a subject. The methods described herein can be used in combination with chemotherapy and/or radiation. The methods described herein are versatile with respect to preventing the relapse of a number of different cancers.

Described herein are methods for preventing a serious health consequence and/or tissue damage in a subject after the subject has been exposed to ionizing radiation and/or chemotherapy. The methods involve administering to the subject a sulfated polysaccharide or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof after the subject has been exposed to ionizing radiation and/or chemotherapy. The methods described herein are most beneficial to cancer patients who suffer from mucositis after exposure to ionizing radiation.
