Summary

This study tests a combination of the drug pembrolizumab and standard radiation therapy for people with a rare type of lymphoma (NK/T-cell) that has not spread widely and who cannot receive chemotherapy. About 30 participants will receive radiation plus pembrolizumab every 3 weeks, followed by up to 2 years of maintenance pembrolizumab. The goal is to see if this approach can control the disease and delay progression.
