The Abscopal Effect of Radiation Therapy: What Is It and How Can We Use It in Breast Cancer?
The abscopal effect refers to the ability of localized radiation to trigger systemic antitumor effects. Over the past 50 years, reports on the abscopal effect arising from conventional radiation have been relatively rare. However, with the continued development and use of immunotherapy strategies incorporating radiotherapy with targeted immunomodulators and immune checkpoint blockade, the absco...
متن کاملRadiation abscopal antitumor effect is mediated through p53.
The observation that radiation treatment to a local area of the body results in an antitumor effect for tumors distant to the radiation site has been termed the "abscopal effect." To understand the mechanism of this unusual phenomenon, we examined whether the effect was mediated through p53, a protein complex up-regulated in irradiated cells. Non-tumor-bearing legs of C57BL/6 (wild-type p53) an...
متن کاملA Case Report on Metastatic Thyroid Carcinoma: Radiation-induced Bystander or Abscopal Effect?
The effects of radiation on human tissues are not just local as once believed but they can appear even outside of the irradiated field [1-5]. Based on what has been published, both from in vitro and in vivo studies [6,7], it is known that those effects are at least regional. The irradiated tumor tissue may communicate, in some way, radiation effects to the not irradiated neighboring or distant ...
متن کاملAbscopal effect in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia during radiation therapy: a case report
Radiotherapy has a significant impact on the local tumor environment and its distant component. Abscopal effect is the bystander effect of radiotherapy observed at a site distant to that irradiated within the same subject. Abscopal effect even though described, is not a common clinical event. We report a documented observation of abscopal effect in a patient of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia duri...
متن کاملFollowing the Preclinical Data: Leveraging the Abscopal Effect More Efficaciously
Radiotherapy is employed in the treatment of over 50% of cancer patients. However, this therapy approach is limited to mainly treating localized disease. In 1953, Mole described the remarkable abscopal effect, whereby, localized radiotherapy of a patient's primary tumor might engender regression of cancer at distant sites, which were not irradiated. Current consensus is that if the abscopal eff...
