Summary

This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab and external beam radiation therapy work in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving pembrolizumab and external beam radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma than pembrolizumab alone.
