Phenomenological insights into the FLASH radiotherapy-induced abscopal effect.
Background: The abscopal effect suggests that the impact of radiotherapy extends beyond the direct tumor local regression, due to activation of the immune response. Its effectiveness may vary depending on whether high- or low-radiation doses are used. In FLASH therapy, the high-dose rate treatment induces systemic effects that may trigger an abscopal response.
Methods: We discuss a phenomenological, computational model, based on available in vivo FLASH radiotherapy data, to quantitatively analyze the possible synergistic effects with the immune system to produce a systemic effect.
Results: The method enables a quantitative assessment of the interaction between FLASH radiotherapy and the activated immune response, based on observations of metastatic shrinkage due to the FLASH treatment of the primary tumor.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Imaging and Diagnosis is dedicated to the publication of results from clinical and research studies applied to cancer diagnosis and treatment. The section aims to publish studies from the entire field of cancer imaging: results from routine use of clinical imaging in both radiology and nuclear medicine, results from clinical trials, experimental molecular imaging in humans and small animals, research on new contrast agents in CT, MRI, ultrasound, publication of new technical applications and processing algorithms to improve the standardization of quantitative imaging and image guided interventions for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
