Cited in Scopus: 0This special edition of Advances in Radiation Oncology is focused on the role of radiation therapy in the context of immunotherapy. Radiation therapy has been used for more than 50 years as an effective modality to eradicate gross and microscopic cancer. Over the past few decades, a distinct role for radiation from that of directly killing tumor cells has emerged. Tumor responses outside of the radiated field, or abscopal effects (ab scopus = outside the target), have been described, although they are rare with radiation alone.
