Abstract:
A large proportion of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are diagnosed with metastatic and incurable advanced lung cancer at the time of discovery, so these patients are given no surgical opportunity and have a low 5-year survival rate. In the era of immunotherapy, many kinds of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been approved as the first/second-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC with negative driving genes and have been combined with radiotherapy as an important treatment strategy for patients with advanced NSCLC. The innovative strategy of combining radiotherapy and immunotherapy has shown feasibility as supported by practical evidence in clinical research. A preclinical experiment of observing the immune mechanism at the molecular and cellular levels preliminarily revealed the interaction among tumor, radiation, and immune system. This paper briefly reviews the progress of combined radiotherapy and immunotherapy in the treatment of advanced NSCLC with negative drvier genes.
