Activin A Promotes Regulatory T-cell-Mediated Immunosuppression in Irradiated Breast Cancer

Mara De Martino et al.

Summary: Increased Tregs were found in mice tumors treated with focal radiotherapy and TGF beta blockade, mediated by upregulation of activin A. In vitro, activin A secretion was increased post-irradiation, and dual blockade of activin A and TGF beta was required to decrease intratumoral Tregs in vivo. Targeting activin A may reduce Treg-mediated immunosuppression, supporting the development of tumor-specific memory responses in irradiated breast cancer when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Immunologic Cold Squamous Cell Carcinomas of the Head and Neck Are Associated With an Unfavorable Prognosis

Julika Ribbat-Idel et al.

Summary: The study identified significant differences in survival rates among HNSCC patients based on their tumor immune cell patterns, with immunologic hot and excluded patients showing better overall survival. Categorizing HNSCC as immunologic hot, cold, or excluded using a plain histological approach may serve as a potential prognostic tool.

Combinations of Radiotherapy with Vaccination and Immune Checkpoint Inhibition Differently Affect Primary and Abscopal Tumor Growth and the Tumor Microenvironment

Michael Rueckert et al.

Summary: The study showed that whole tumor cell vaccines generated with high hydrostatic pressure can retard tumor growth systemically, but only in previously irradiated tumors. Combining radiotherapy with anti-PD-1 treatment induces distinct immune alterations in anti-tumor responses to non-irradiated tumors. Careful optimization of treatment regimens is needed for future multimodal radioimmunotherapy approaches.

(Chemo)Radiotherapy-Immunotherapy Combinations: Time to Get Tailored?

Michele Mondini et al.

Summary: Chemoradiotherapy is considered an immunogenic anticancer treatment, and data obtained during treatment of cervical cancer patients show heterogeneous changes in the tumor immune landscape, highlighting the importance of patient selection for designing successful combined immunotherapies. Blood-based biomarkers could be valuable for such patient stratification.

Heterogeneity of IFN-Mediated Responses and Tumor Immunogenicity in Patients with Cervical Cancer Receiving Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy

Jianzhou Chen et al.

Summary: The study found significant changes in tumor immunogenicity and IFN signaling in some cervical cancer patients during concurrent chemoradiotherapy, which were correlated with short-term treatment response. Therefore, radiation-induced immunity is limited to a subset of patients and may be related to the heterogeneity of intratumoral IFNs induction.

Radiotherapy and the immune system: More than just immune suppression

Michael Ruckert et al.

Summary: Radiotherapy aims to achieve local tumor control by inducing DNA damage, with immunological effects that can be both stimulatory and suppressive. Immunotherapies can be combined with radiotherapy to enhance antitumor immune responses or counteract radiotherapy-induced immunosuppression.
