The clearance of nonirradiated tumors after localized radiation therapy is known as the
abscopal effect. Activation of an antitumor immune response has been proposed as a …

The concept of utilizing localized radiation therapy to elicit out-of-target tumor responses—
the abscopal effect—was proposed over 50 years ago (1, 2). Over the past decades, the …

Radiotherapy (RT) is used routinely as a standard treatment for more than 50% of patients

Radiotherapy has been used for more than a hundred years to cure or locally control tumors.
Regression of tumors outside of the irradiated field was occasionally observed and is known …

The abscopal effect is mediated by a systemic anti-tumor immune response and reflects the
regression of non-irradiated metastatic lesions at a distance from the primary site of …

Abscopal effect is a rare phenomenon characterized by tumor regression of untreated
metastatic lesions after a local therapy (eg, radiotherapy). We studied the probability of …

Cancer radiotherapy (RT) may induce what is referred to as the “abscopal effect,” a
regression of non-irradiated metastatic lesions distant from the primary tumor site directly …

The abscopal effect is a systemic immune response mediated by the effects of radiation on
the immune system. This effect has been observed in a number of cancer types in addition to …
