Background: Radiotherapy (RT) recruits biological effectors outside the treatment field with systemic effects.

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.
