- The abscopal effect is a rare phenomenon that characterized by tumor regression of untreated
metastatic lesions after a local radiotherapy. The mechanisms of abscopal effect are speculated
to be associated with cytokine release and host immune system. In this case, we report a case of
abscopal effect in a 64-year-old male with hepatocellular carcinoma with lung and bone metastasis,
who had complete response in the lung after receiving radiation to the metastatic bone lesions.
