Radiation boost for cancer immunotherapy shows promise
NCT ID NCT02843165
Summary
This study tested whether adding a precise, high-dose radiation treatment to immunotherapy helps control advanced cancer that has spread. It involved 106 patients with metastatic cancer who were randomly assigned to receive either immunotherapy alone or immunotherapy plus targeted radiation. The goal was to see if the combination led to better tumor shrinkage and longer control of the disease.
