Background: Radiotherapy (RT) recruits biological effectors outside the treatment field with systemic effects. Non-cancerous cells surrounding the tumor may play a pivotal role in cancer progression, as well as in metastasis. Local radiation triggers systemic effects, which in combination with immunotherapy may contribute to better treatment outcomes.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate RT effects on peripheral immune system (IS) in patients with lung cancer (LC) or diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after external beam radiotherapy.
Methods: We studied a group of LC and DLBCL patients i... view more»
