Radiation therapy and anti-tumor immunity: exposing immunogenic mutations to the immune system

Abstract The expression of antigens that are recognized by self-reactive T cells is essential for immune-mediated tumor rejection by immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Growing evidence suggests that mutation-associated neoantigens drive ICB responses in tumors with high mutational burden. In...
