The abscopal effect, first observed in 1953 but largely considered too rare or inconsistent to warrant attention, explains observed systemic effects of radiation therapy to lesions located outside of the local treatment target. Recently, the phenomenon is gaining notoriety in combination with immunotherapy. As more personalized treatments using the body’s immune system evolve, the abscopal effect is being induced by the combination of immunotherapy and radiation therapy to produce a synergistic cancer treatment.
This quiz is the companion to the column “Revisiting the Abscopal Effect,” which appears in the Spring 2021 Radiation Therapist journal.
