A Rational Approach to Unilateral Neck RT for Head and Neck Cancers in the Era of Immunotherapy

Radiotherapy plays an important role in the definitive and adjuvant treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, standard courses of radiation therapy may contribute to the depletion of circulating lymphocytes and potentially attenuate optimal tumor antigen presentation that...
