Journal ArticleDOI

Innate and adaptive immune cells in the tumor microenvironment

TL;DR: Two broad categories of tumor escape based on cellular and molecular characteristics of the tumor microenvironment are suggested, which appear to resist immune attack through immune system exclusion or ignorance and may require distinct immunotherapeutic interventions for maximal therapeutic effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Irradiation and anti–PD-L1 treatment synergistically promote antitumor immunity in mice

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a close interaction between IR, T cells, and the PD-L1/PD-1 axis and a basis for the rational design of combination therapy with immune modulators and radiotherapy is established.
Journal ArticleDOI

STING-Dependent Cytosolic DNA Sensing Promotes Radiation-Induced Type I Interferon-Dependent Antitumor Immunity in Immunogenic Tumors

TL;DR: Radiation-mediated antitumor immunity in immunogenic tumors requires a functional cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway and suggests that cGAMP treatment might provide a new strategy to improve radiotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutic effects of ablative radiation on local tumor require CD8+ T cells: changing strategies for cancer treatment

TL;DR: It is reported that reduction of tumor burden after ablative RT depends largely on T-cell responses, and the need for new strategies that not only reduce tumor burden but also enhance the role of antitumor immunity is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radiotherapy and immunotherapy: a beneficial liaison?

TL;DR: Data that provide new mechanistic explanations for the success or failure of radiotherapy are highlighted, and how the combination of immune-modulation and radiation could tip the balance of the host immune response to promote cure is postulated.
