Abstract

When used according to specific dose/fractionation schedules, focal radiotherapy can elicit a systemic anticancer immune response that limits the growth of distant, non-irradiated tumors. Recent data suggest that, at least in some settings, intratumoral macrophages can be educated by CD47 blockage to promote such an ‘abscopal’ response independent of CD8+ T cells.
