Abstract:
Radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), especially with PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors, have fallen under the spotlight in recent years. How to explore the optimal combination modality of radiotherapy and immunotherapy to maximize the benefits for all-stage patients is one of the developing directions of clinical research. This article expounds the effect of radiotherapy on tumor immunology, research progress on radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy for various stages of NSCLC, and the problems existing in radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy.
