Abstract:
Liver Cancer is a prevalent malignant tumor worldwide,with various treatment options available. Among these, ablation therapy holds a significant role in liver cancer treatment due to its minimally invasive nature and lower complication rate. This article reviews the indications and contraindications of liver cancer ablation,the basic principles of different ablation techniques,and their advantages and limitations in clinical applications for liver cancer. Each ablation technique possesses unique characteristics regarding therapeutic efficacy,application scope,and complication profiles,necessitating the selection of the most appropriate approach tailored to the patient′s specific condition and tumor attributes. Furthermore,this article also discusses the potential role of ablation therapy in multidisciplinary treatment,highlighting its synergistic application with liver transplantation,interventional therapy,and immunotargeted therapy to significantly improve outcomes for unresectable liver cancer. Specifically,ablation therapy can induce an anti-tumor immune response by locally destroying the tumor,offering a potential application prospect for combining ablation with immunotherapy. Looking forward,with advances in nanotechnology,artificial intelligence,and image-guided techniques,ablation therapy is expected to progress towards higher precision,personalization,and safety,offering optimized treatment options for liver cancer patients.
