Summary

This study tested whether adding radiation to an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) could help people with non-Hodgkin lymphoma that returned or didn't respond to prior treatments. Seventeen adults with aggressive types of lymphoma received both treatments. The goal was to see if the combination could shrink tumors better than the drug alone. While not a cure, this approach aims to control the disease and improve outcomes for patients with limited options.
