The Reciprocity between Radiotherapy and Cancer Immunotherapy

TL;DR: The evidence that supports reciprocal interactions between cancer immunotherapy and radiotherapy is highlighted, where in addition to the traditional notion that radiation serves to enhance the activation of antitumor immunity, an alternative scenario also exists in which T-cell activation by cancer Immunotherapy may sensitize tumors to radiation treatment through mechanisms that include normalization of the tumor vasculature and tissue hypoxia.
