The abscopal effect refers to a phenomenon where localized treatment of a tumor (such as radiation therapy) leads to regression of metastatic tumors that are not directly targeted by the treatment. This effect is often observed in the context of cancer therapy, particularly when combining local treatments with systemic therapies like immunotherapy. The underlying mechanism of the abscopal effect is thought to involve the activation of the immune system.
