The accelerating quest for optimal radiation and immunotherapy combinations for local and systemic tumor control

Year: 2018

Type: editorial

Abstract: Current radiotherapy protocols have been empirically developed based on radiation-induced cell death and maximum tolerable dose concepts. Incremental improvements in radiotherapy protocols with each iteration of clinical trials have continued because they have produced reasonable outcomes. However, the concept of adaptive therapy allowing optimized novel treatments to achieve biological efficacy at significantly lower doses may be applicable to radiotherapy (1).
