Radiotherapy driven immunomodulation of the tumor microenvironment and its impact on clinical outcomes: a promising new treatment paradigm

Traditional treatment approaches for advanced malignancies have been associated with limited clinical outcomes necessitating the development of novel therapies. However, the ability of radiotherapy to induce pro-immunogenic changes in tumor immune microenvironment can be leveraged when combined with...
