Factors Influencing Pulmonary Toxicity Induced by Combination Radiotherapy with Immunotherapy
The combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy synergistically modulates the im-mune response,which may affect the treatment-related toxicity and its severity,particularly the pulmonary toxicity.Both radiation-induced lung injury and immue-related pneumonitis can seri-ously impact the treatment efficacy and the quality of survival for patients.This paper reviews the current research progress on the pulmonary toxicity induced by radiotherapy combined with im-munotherapy and its influencing factors.
