Plain language summary This editorial talks about combining radiation therapy (using high-energy rays to kill cancer cells) and immunotherapy (boosting the body's immune system to fight cancer) to treat advanced lung cancer. When used together, these therapies can work better to kill more cancer cells and help patients live longer. But, there's still a lot we don't know. For instance, we need to figure out the best timing and doses for these treatments, and which patients will benefit the most. The article stresses that more research is needed to answer these questions and make this combined treatment a more effective option for advanced lung cancer patients.
