Summary

This study tested whether a short course of radiation to one tumor site could make immunotherapy work better in people with advanced lung or head/neck cancer. 76 participants received radiation within two weeks of starting their first immunotherapy dose. The main goal was to see if this combination improved the number of patients whose cancer did not grow for at least six months.
