Scientists probe Radiation's hidden power to turn immune system against lung cancer
NCT ID NCT03603002
Summary
This small, completed pilot study aimed to understand how a precise, high-dose radiation treatment for early-stage lung cancer might activate the patient's own immune system. Researchers took tiny tumor samples from six patients before and after radiation to see if the treatment caused specific immune cells to recognize and target the cancer. The goal was to gather knowledge to potentially design better future treatments that combine radiation with immunotherapy.
