Description
Recent advances in both radiation therapy and immunotherapy have expanded the possibilities for combining these modalities to more effectively and synergistically treat cancer and improve outcomes for patients. Radiation therapy can be delivered with much greater precision because of innovations in technology, and new immunotherapy treatments including tumor-targeting antibodies, checkpoint inhibitors and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies, have provided novel methods to activate the immune system against a variety of cancers. These grants support research on effectively combining radiation therapy and immunotherapy to enhance patient outcomes.
