Immune Response to Locoregional Therapy

Abstract

Abstract The immune response to cancer is an ongoing area of interest and is the focus of newer systemic agents. Liver-directed therapy has been the standard treatment for primary and metastatic disease limited to the liver. It is increasingly being recognized that these therapies may influence a broader systemic response and immune activation. The clinical and translational data supporting this phenomenon are reviewed herein. The findings and potential impact of the immune response to liver-directed therapies are summarized in this article.
