Immunoradiotherapy

Immunoradiotherapy

In the World of Oncology, the biggest advances in the last 10 years have been on immunotherapies. The purpose of immunotherapy is to stimulate the person's immune system against the tumor. Immunotherapy activates the body's natural defense systems to fight cancer, allowing the organism to fight the disease itself.

However, these treatments work for a certain group of patients and for a period of time. Therefore, radiotherapy shows promise in cancer treatment as a way to complement immunotherapy. Radiotherapy creates a “vaccination-in-place” effect, which is the basis of optimal immunity, especially against cancer cells. In recent years, studies combining immunotherapy with radiotherapy continue at full speed.
