Adrenergic stress constrains the development of anti-tumor immunity and abscopal responses following local radiation

Abscopal responses in patients and preclinical models following radiation therapy are rare. Here the authors show that, in murine tumor models, reducing adrenergic stress or β2-adrenergic receptor signalling not only improves control of the irradiated tumor but significantly increases abscopal event...
