Tumor Immunotherapy

Tumor Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Area of Science:

Interventional Radiology
Medical Physics

Background:

Percutaneous tumor ablation techniques are increasingly adopted in clinical practice and guidelines.
These minimally invasive, image-guided procedures significantly reduce procedure-related morbidity.
Initially used for liver, kidney, lung, and bone tumors, applications have expanded to thyroid, breast, uterus, and soft tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

To review available percutaneous tumor ablation techniques.
To elucidate the underlying physical principles of each ablation method.
To detail the most common clinical indications for these procedures.

Main Methods:

Literature review of percutaneous tumor ablation techniques.
Analysis of the physical principles governing ablation mechanisms.
Compilation of clinical applications and outcomes across various organs.

Main Results:

Discussion of diverse ablation modalities (e.g., thermal, non-thermal).
Explanation of how physical principles (e.g., energy delivery, tissue interaction) influence technique selection.
Overview of established and emerging clinical indications for tumor ablation.

Conclusions:

A comprehensive understanding of physical principles is essential for optimizing percutaneous tumor ablation.
Tailoring techniques to specific tissue characteristics and clinical needs improves efficacy.
Percutaneous ablation represents a growing, effective treatment modality for a wide range of tumors.
