Radiation boost tested to supercharge lung cancer treatment

NCT ID NCT03176173

Summary

This study tested whether adding a short, high-dose course of radiation to standard immunotherapy could help control advanced lung cancer for longer. It involved 45 people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer who were already receiving immunotherapy. Researchers wanted to see if the radiation could improve the body's immune response to fight the cancer more effectively.
