Radiotherapy (RT), while pivotal in cancer control, may paradoxically promote metastasis through systemic effects. Emerging evidence implicates RT-induced growth factors and immune modulation—especially via amphiregulin-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling—in facilitating metastatic outgrowth at distant sites. This effect underscores the need to refine RT strategies, identify high-risk patients, and explore therapeutic combinations targeting myeloid cells and EGFR pathways to mitigate pro-metastatic consequences and optimize outcomes in the immunotherapy era.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Cell is a journal that focuses on promoting major advances in cancer research and oncology. The primary criteria for considering manuscripts are as follows:
Major advances: Manuscripts should provide significant advancements in answering important questions related to naturally occurring cancers.
Translational research: The journal welcomes translational research, which involves the application of basic scientific findings to human health and clinical practice.
Clinical investigations: Cancer Cell is interested in publishing clinical investigations that contribute to establishing new paradigms in the treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of cancers.
Insights into cancer biology: The journal values clinical investigations that provide important insights into cancer biology beyond what has been revealed by preclinical studies.
Mechanism-based proof-of-principle studies: Cancer Cell encourages the publication of mechanism-based proof-of-principle clinical studies, which demonstrate the feasibility of a specific therapeutic approach or diagnostic test.
