Article Synopsis
- The abscopal effect refers to the phenomenon where local treatments, like radiation, not only shrink the targeted tumor but also lead to regression of other untreated tumors in the body.
- A systematic review of 50 studies involving 55 patients analyzed the specific outcomes and predictors associated with the abscopal effect, focusing on patient demographics, treatment types, and survival rates.
- Results showed that most cases involved radiation therapy, with a median time of 4 months until response, yet no clear predictors for duration of response or survival were identified.
Objective The purpose of this study was to determine whether surgical scheduling affected patient outcomes following lumbar laminectomy. Physician fatigue caused by prolonged work hours has been shown to worsen outcomes. Previous research has also established a relationship between surgical scheduling and outcomes.
