Radiation therapy as a biological modifier of the breast cancer immune microenvironment

Radiotherapy has attracted considerable attention as a means to alter the immune cell compartment of breast malignancies in support of increased sensitivity to immunotherapy. Recent data from Schalck and colleagues corroborate the notion that dose is a critical determinant of the immunological effec...

Recent data from Schalck and colleagues corroborate the notion that dose is a critical determinant of the immunological effects of radiotherapy on the tumor microenvironment.
