The abscopal effect has been noted for well over 60 years, but is little recognised and has never been capitalised on as a treatment methodology. It describes the way that metastatic lesions at remote locations in the body can be affected by treating the primary tumour – as opposed to removing it. There used to be little understanding of the mechanism behind this ‘magical’ effect, but it is now described in terms of the effect that starting to kill the primary has on our innate immunity, alerting it to the presence of the cancer which it then attacks wherever it finds it.
