Provided are methods and compositions for enhancing radiotherapy in various cancers by administering dopamine receptor (DRD2)‐binding phenylpiperazine derivatives such as brexpiprazole, cariprazine, pipamperone, and perospirone. In vitro studies show that combining these agents with ionizing radiation (e.g., 5 Gy) significantly reduces cancer cell survival, suppresses metastatic and stemness markers (e.g., CD44, MMP‑2, Snail, Nanog), and promotes apoptosis. Fractionated or single‐fraction radiation regimens can be paired with DRD2 antagonists to lower treatment‐resistant phenotypes, decrease the likelihood of recurrence, and potentially reduce necessary radiation dosages. The approach applies to breast, prostate, lung, pancreatic, and brain cancers, among others. Depending on tumor characteristics, additional chemotherapeutic or immunotherapeutic agents may further improve outcomes.

The present invention relates to a local targeting photodynamic therapy device for treating cancer. In more detail, an endoscope is disposed at the center of the end of a probe for photodynamic therapy, and a plurality of optical fibers are disposed along the edge to irradiate a plurality of lights to a lesion site, wherein the plurality of optical fibers of the probe receive light from independent light sources to independently perform light irradiation. The present invention is a device for minimizing damage to unnecessary normal tissue by adjusting the light irradiation area, i.e., each independent light source determines a light irradiation area including a lesion site in a real-time image provided by an endoscope disposed at the end of the probe, and only causes the independent light source that irradiates the determined light irradiation area to emit light, thereby achieving local light irradiation, etc. The local targeting photodynamic therapy device of the present invention can treat a variety of cancers or tumors, including cervical cancer, female cancers (endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer), skin cancer, brain cancer, etc., which are small and can be treated locally.
