PD-L1 blockade enhances response of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to radiotherapy [PDF]
, 2017 Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is considered a non‐immunogenic tumor, and immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy lacks efficacy in this disease. Radiotherapy (RT) can stimulate the immune system.
