The importance of immunology in tumor response to radiotherapy represents a major opportunity for our discipline. Novel therapies have emerged which target the immune cells. Combinations of such therapies to radiotherapy might translate into better local tumor control rates and also into better distant control given the possibility to use radiotherapy as an immunological enhancer of the anti-tumor immune response. Drugs targeting the immune checkpoints such as PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4 blockers are among the first agents; moreover, several other agents are also in development. Thus, the selection of the optimal combination based on a sound rationale and proper patient selection will be key.
