Exploratory analysis of the cervix tumoral HPV antigen-specific T-cell repertoire during chemoradiation and after brachytherapy

Chemoradiation (CRT) may modulate the immune milieu as an in-situ vaccine. Rapid dose delivery of brachytherapy has unclear impact on T-cell repertoires. HPV-associated cancers express viral oncoproteins E6/E7, which enable tracking antigen/tumor-specific immunity during CRT.
