A 66-year-old man with hypopharyngeal carcinoma with a single bone metastasis was treated with definitive chemo/radiotherapy omitting local treatment of the single bone lesion. He remained relapse-free for 6 years. We have concluded that radiotherapy-dependent abscopal effect might have allowed to avoid ablative treatment of metastatic site.

Abstract
A 66-year-old man with hypopharyngeal carcinoma with a single bone metastasis was treated with definitive chemo/radiotherapy omitting local treatment of the single bone lesion. He remained relapse-free for 6 years. We have concluded that radiotherapy-dependent abscopal effect might have allowed to avoid ablative treatment of metastatic site.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
