Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world.According to the statistic data of Ministry of Public Health of China in 1995, the annual mortality of HCC was 20.4 per 0.1 million, and had the rise tendency. Surgery is commonly the main modality of HCC combined therapy. The high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), as a noninvasive therapy, with the mechanism of transient high temperatures, cavitation and mechanical effects, has been recognized. This review aimes to elucidate the immune changes in HCC after HIFU exposures and the mechanism.
