Abscopal effect of radiation in papillary adenocarcinoma

Department of Therapeutic Radiology, Roswell Park Memorial Institute 666 Elm Street, Buffalo, N.Y. 14203

This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

The preceding presentation is believed to be the first reported case of abscopal effect observed in a patient with papillary adenocarcinoma.

This observation indicates that even when the histological nature of the tumour may suggest an unfavourable response, a trial of irradiation may be rewarding.

Poorly understood factors which influence the outcome, and the sometimes unpredictable biological behaviour of certain tumours should be considered when evaluating such patients for radiation therapy. To do otherwise could lead one to deny treatment to patients who might have been benefited by this therapeutic modality.
