Also provided are compositions and methods for treating cancer. Aspects of the methods include administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a ENPP1 inhibitor to treat the subject for cancer. In certain cases, the cancer is a solid tumor cancer. Also provided are methods of administering radiation therapy to a subject either before or after administering an ENPP1 inhibitor. The radiation therapy can be administered at a dosage and/or frequency effective to reduce radiation damage to the subject.
