Research Article: Immune Effects of Cryoablation in Woodchuck Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Introduction:
Image-guided minimally invasive cryoablation utilizes focal hypothermia for eradication of local tumors in kidney, lung, liver, breast, prostate, bone, and soft tissue. Cryoablation and other locoregional thermal ablation modalities offer advantages over surgery including lower morbidity and shorter hospital stays as well as repeatability and facile compatibility with other oncologic therapies. Notably, locoregional thermal ablation can evoke systemic anti-tumoral immune responses. – However, there remains a lack…
