Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Radiation therapy has direct cytotoxic effects on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, but it also has immune stimulatory effects that increase immune cell infiltration. The dynamics of these competing effects on immune cells at the site of the tumor are poorly characterized during chemoradiation treatment (CRT) because of the difficulty of obtaining consecutive tumor biopsies. We used a minimally invasive...
