Aren Karapetyan: Good articles about abscopal effect

Aren Karapetyan, Medical Resident at Yerevan State Medical University named after Mkhitar Heratsi and Secretary at the shared a post on LinkedIn:

“The abscopal effect refers to the systemic anti-tumor response observed when local radiation therapy leads to the regression of tumors distant from the irradiated site. This phenomenon is thought to be mediated by the immune system, where radiation-induced cell death releases tumour antigens, triggering an immune response against cancer cells throughout the body.

The abscopal effect is relatively rare but has significant implications for cancer treatment, especially in combination with immunotherapy.Here are good articles about abscopal effect:
