Can local radiofrequency ablation of tumors generate systemic immunity against metastatic disease?

Rebecca Waitz et al. Radiology. 2009 Apr.

Abstract

Radiofrequency (RF) ablation may have the potential to turn a patient's tumor into an endogenous tumor vaccine; in this context of RF ablation-triggered immune system stimulation, the report by Dromi et al demonstrates a systemic immune response after local RF ablation in a mouse model.
