Abstract

Key Clinical Message: The mechanism of abscopal effect is becoming clear by the progress of cancer immunology. A 54‐year‐old male with recurrent gastric cancer presented an abscopal effect after radiotherapy with concurrent adoptive T‐cell immunotherapy (immunoradiotherapy). Immunoradiotherapy has potential to induce abscopal effect by strengthening systemic antitumor immunity even in recurrent cancer.
