First seen Mar 15, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tested whether giving a short course of radiation to one tumor site within two weeks of starting immunotherapy could help the immune system fight cancer better. It included 76 people with advanced lung or head/neck cancers who were already eligible for standard immunotherapy drugs. The main goal was to see if this combination improved the number of patients whose cancer did not get worse after six months, compared to historical data.
