First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 31 times

Summary

This study looked at how radiation therapy changes the immune response in people with stage I non-small cell lung cancer. Researchers took small samples of the tumor before and after radiation to see if the treatment helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. Six adults participated, and the goal was to understand the body's natural defenses, not to test a new treatment.
