Abstract:Cryoablation, a kind of physical ablation for tumor treatment, is minimally invasive, safe and effective. Studies suggest that cryoablation can not only kill tumor cells directly, but also the anti-tumor immune response triggered by cryoablation plays an important role in inhibiting the growth of local tumors and eliminating the residual tumor cells.
