Abstract:
Tumor radiation therapy (RT)can affect the immune system.Latest studies show that appropriate RT can activate the immune system through regulating tumor microenvironment,activating immune cells and releasing danger signals,and can produce bystander or abscopal effect.With the development of clini-cal biomarkers research and clinical trials about RT combined with immunotherapy,it is expected to change the traditional pattern of tumor treatment.
