Radiotherapy Drives Cancer Metastasis through Induction of Amphiregulin
Major Finding: Radiotherapy-induced amphiregulin in solid tumors drives the progression of distant metastases.Concept: Amphiregulin induces an immunosuppressive phenotype in EGFR-expressing mononuclear phagocytes. Impact: Blockade of amphiregulin may enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy in patients with metastatic tumors.
