Radiation plus immunotherapy shows promise in advanced cancers

This study looked at 76 people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer or head and neck squamous cell cancer who were already starting immunotherapy. Within two weeks of their first dose, they received a short course of radiation to one tumor site. The goal was to see if this combination could improve the number of patients whose cancer did not get worse after six months, compared to historical data. The approach aims to help the immune system recognize and attack the cancer more effectively.
