Description
Chihiro Mano and six co-authors report a rare case where radiation to one spot shrank tumors far away, in a paper from 2026. The patient had cervical cancer that had come back and spread to nodes, liver, and lungs. Such distant shrinkage after local radiation is called an abscopal effect and is thought to work through the immune system.
The woman first had chemo and then an immune drug, yet the disease grew and reached bone. Radiation eased painful bone spots. Three months later, scans showed liver and lung tumors had shrunk a lot, though they lay outside the treated field. Doctors resumed the immune drug after that response.
