Abscopal effect in a patient with malignant pleural mesothelioma treated with palliative radiotherapy and pembrolizumab
The abscopal effect describes the ability of locally administered radiotherapy to induce systemic antitumor effects. Although mentioned for the first time in the 1950s, records of abscopal effects, considered to be immune-mediated, are scarce with radiotherapy alone. However, with the continued deve...
