Clinical opportunities in combining immunotherapy with radiation therapy
Preclinical work in murine models suggests that local radiotherapy plus intratumoral syngeneic dendritic cells (DC) injection can mediate immunologic tumor eradication. Radiotherapy affects the immune response to cancer, besides the direct impact on the tumor cells, and other ways to coordinate immune modulation with radiotherapy have been explored. We review here the potential for immune-media...
متن کاملCombining targeted therapy with immunotherapy (interferon-α)
Imatinib revolutionized gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) treatment but median-progression-free-survival of unresectable/metastatic disease is < 2 y. B-RAF(V600)-mutated-melanoma responds to vemurafenib dramatically but median-progression-free-survival is < 9 mo. Combining imatinib with immunotherapy (peginterferon α-2b) in GIST showed significant induction of antitumor immunity and highly ...
متن کاملUniverses collide: combining immunotherapy with targeted therapy for cancer.
UNLABELLED There have been significant advances in the past several years with regard to targeted therapy and immunotherapy for cancer. This is highlighted in melanoma, where treatment with targeted therapy (against the BRAF oncoprotein) results in responses in the majority of patients, although the duration of response is limited. In contrast, treatment with immunotherapy results in a lower re...
متن کاملCombining radiation and immunotherapy: a new systemic therapy for solid tumors?
With the recent success of checkpoint inhibitors and other immunomodulating agents, there has been renewed interest in the combination of such agents with radiation. The biologic premise behind such a strategy is that the tumor-antigen release achieved by localized radiation will promote specific tumor targeting by the adaptive immune system, which can be augmented further by systemic immune-st...
متن کاملCombining innate immunity with radiation therapy for cancer treatment.
INTRODUCTION The widely shared goal of cancer immunotherapy is to stimulate an immune response of sufficient quality and magnitude to destroy primary malignancies and their metastases. Cancer immunotherapy has taken many cues from the development of successful antimicrobial vaccines. Antimicrobial vaccines rely on the immune system’s capacity to distinguish self-tissues from infectious non-self...
