Abscopal effect in the radio and immunotherapy [PDF]
This review is devoted to a rare in clinical practice, but promising phenomenon of regression distant non-irradiated metastases in combination therapy of cancer patients. R. H. Mole in 1953 suggested introducing the term “abscopal effect” to denote the effect of ionizing radiation “at a distance from the irradiated volume but within the same organism.”

Radiation-induced abscopal effect and its enhancement by programmed cell death 1 blockade in the hepatocellular carcinoma: A murine model study [PDF]
Background/Aims The abscopal effect, a rare phenomenon induced by radiation, can be reinforced by immunotherapy. Although radiation therapy and immunotherapy are increasingly being utilized for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), whether ...

Electroporation and Immunotherapy—Unleashing the Abscopal Effect [PDF]
The discovery of electroporation in 1968 has led to the development of electrochemotherapy (ECT) and irreversible electroporation (IRE). ECT and IRE have been established as treatments of cutaneous and subcutaneous tumors and locally advanced pancreatic cancer, respectively.

Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy Immunological Planning—A Review With a Proposed Theoretical Model
In the stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and immunotherapy era, we are moving toward an “immunological radiation plan”, i.e., radiation scheduling with abscopal effect as a vital endpoint as well.

The Abscopal Effect of Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy (RT) in some cases results in a systemic anticancer response known as the abscopal effect. Multiple hypotheses support the role of immune activation initiated by RT-induced DNA damage. Optimal radiation dose is necessary to promote the cGAS-STING pathway in response to radiation and initiate an IFN-1 signaling cascade that promotes ...

The Abscopal Effect in the Era of Checkpoint Inhibitors [PDF]
Therapy targeting immune checkpoints represents an integral part of the treatment for patients suffering from advanced melanoma. However, the mechanisms of resistance are responsible for a lower therapeutic outcome than expected. Concerning melanoma, insufficient stimulation of the immune system by tumour neoantigens is a likely explanation.

Systemic benefit of radiation therapy via abscopal effect
Evidence of a systemic response related to localized radiation therapy (RT) in cancer management is rare. However, enhancing the immune response via immunotherapy followed by localized RT has shown evidence of tumor shrinkage to non-irradiated metastatic
