Abridged history of cancer immunotherapy Lesterhuis et al, Nature Reviews 2011 2011: Ipiliumumab shows overall survival benefit in melanoma (2011) 2012-2013: PD1 and PD-L1 blockade has benefit in melanoma, NSCLC, renal cell (4 NEJM papers) 2011-2013: CAR-modified T cells show durable remissions in B cell ALL and CLL
Can we combine local RT, antibodies to oncogenic receptors , selected chemo, hormones to alter tumor microenvironment that allow immunotherapy to optimize host immune response for tumor regression? Major barriers in immunotherapy • Difficult to break tolerance • Poor recruitment to tumor site • Strong suppressive environment within the tumor site • Fast growing tumor in mouse model • Lack of defined antigens and adjuvant for CTL

Why is cross-priming increased • It is known that IFNs can be induced by viral DNA for cross priming of CTL. • Hypothesis: RT-induce DNA damage leads to excessive DNA fragments, like viral infection, which trigger IFNs that induce DC maturation and cross priming • RT induces IFN inside tumor tissues
