Summary

This study tested whether adding high-dose radiation to standard immunotherapy can help control advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread. 45 adults with stage IV disease who were already on immunotherapy received targeted radiation to their tumors. The goal was to improve response rates and delay cancer progression. Results showed that the combination led to tumor shrinkage in many patients and improved progression-free survival at 24 weeks.
