Radiation Therapy to Convert the Tumor Into an In Situ Vaccine

Open access
Formenti, Silvia C., Demaria, Sandra·2012·International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics

Abstract

Over the past several months new examples of abscopal effects of radiotherapy have added to the existing literature on this subject, and demonstrated an association with an anti-tumor immune response (1–3). Initially met by understandable scepticism, our original hypothesis that the rare but repeatedly observed abscopal effect of radiation is, at least in part, immune-mediated is acquiring increasing support (4). Importantly, this new role of radiotherapy brings radiation oncology to the table of the “systemic disease modifiers”, a place it is generally excluded from.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
