Progression of adjuvant radiotherapy upon breast cancer immunity
treatment and prognosis of breast cancer. Adjuvant radiotherapy plays an important role in the multidisciplinary treatment of breast cancer. It has long been believed that radiotherapy was immunosuppressive because it could destroy the body’s immune cells directly. While recent studies have shown that radiotherapy can stimulate the host immune system in the antitumor process
including antigen processing
presentation
recognition
and eventually tumor-cell killing. In the clinical aspect
a variety of immune targeted therapies
combined with radiotherapy
have entered clinical trials. The article reviewed research progress and status of the influence of breast cancer adjuvant radiotherapy on antitumor immunity.
