External links modified[edit]
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Bystander effect (radiobiology). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
- Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20120323170444/http://lowdose.energy.gov/radiation_bystandereffects.aspx to http://lowdose.energy.gov/radiation_bystandereffects.aspx
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Comparison with the abscopal effect[edit]
The penultimate paragraph states "Note that the bystander effect is not the same as the abscopal effect". According to PMID 28723894 "The radiation-induced bystander effect (RIBE) refers to a unique process in which factors released by irradiated cells or tissues exert effects on other parts of the animal not exposed to radiation..."
How is this different from the bystander effect? Or, am I being dense (I write this on a Friday afternoon after a very busy week)?
Perhaps if the effect is beneficial (e.g. kills other tumours) the effect is abscopal, whereas if the effect is detrimental (e.g. makes your hair fall out) the effect is bystander.
Can someone help?
