Chemotherapy promotes rapid tumor debulking and enhances antigen release through immunogenic cell death (ICD), while immunotherapy amplifies the body's T-cell-mediated immune response.
Together, they create a powerful therapeutic synergy—but also increase the complexity of patient care. Key Clinical Considerations ✔ Comprehensive baseline assessment—including organ function, endocrine profile, cardiac evaluation, and infectious disease screening—is essential before treatment initiation. ✔…
