It has long been known that radiation destroys the tumors
by killing cells. However, immunotherapy is developing
rapidly, combination of immunotherapy with chemotherapy
and radiotherapy seems to be a viable option. Preclinical
studies combining immunotherapy with radiotherapy
resulted in promising data, where manipulating immune
response enhances the effects of radiation. There are many
ways of immunotherapy-radiotherapy combination, and the
field is open for clinical research. This paper reviews the
current situation on this topic.
