Abstract:
Microwave ablation,as a minimally invasive therapy,causes focal hyperthermic injury to ablated tumors.It also induces anti-tumor immunity which could contribute to another mechanism of tumor destruction.Combination with immunotherapy could further enhance the tumor-specific immunity,lead to stronger inhibitory effects on both primary and metastatic lesions and decrease recurrence and metastasis.Thus,combination of microwave ablation and immunotherapy is a promising approach in the treatment of solid tumors,especially for advanced cancers.This article reviews recent advances in the mechanism and application of immune effect induced by microwave ablation.
