Combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy in duality with the protumoral action of radiation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Radiotherapy is widely used to treat various cancers. Its combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors is intensively studied preclinically and clinically. Although the first results were very encouraging, the number of patients who respond positively remains low, and the therapeutic benefit is often temporary. This review summarizes how radiation can stimulate an antitumor immune response and its combination with immunotherapy based on inhibiting immune checkpoints. We will provide an overview of radiotherapy parameters that should be better controlled to avoid downregulating the antitumor immune response. The low response rate of combining radiotherapy and immunotherapy could, at least in part, be caused by the stimulation of cancer cell invasion and metastasis development that occur at similar doses and number of radiation fractions. To end on a positive note, we explore how a targeted inhibition of the inflammatory cytokines induced by radiation with a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor could both support an antitumor immune response and block radiation-induced metastasis formation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
