Radiation and immunotherapy team up to fight spreading cancer
NCT ID NCT03042156
Summary
This study looked at whether it is safe to combine newer immunotherapy drugs with palliative radiation therapy in patients whose cancer has spread. Palliative radiation is used to relieve pain and other symptoms, not to cure the cancer. Researchers followed 42 patients to see if the combination caused severe side effects and if it helped control cancer both where the radiation was aimed and in other parts of the body.
