Whole-body CT scanning radiation improves the immune microenvironment of tumor tissues to enhance the antitumor effect of ICI
To our knowledge this is the first study on the effect of CT scan radiation on ICI.Our findings suggest that multiple CT scans during immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment did not promote tumor progression, but instead a trend toward delayed tumor progression was observed.
