ABSTRACT
A novel multi-mode thermal therapy was developed for local tumor ablation and the systemic stimulation of anti-tumor immunity, consisting of a rapid liquid nitrogen freezing, and followed by the radiofrequency heating of target tumor tissue. This pilot study aimed to compare the therapeutic effects of the new therapy with conventional radiofrequency ablation (RFA) on patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRCLM). From August 2016 to September 2019, thirty-one patients with CRCLM received either multi-mode thermal therapy (n = 17) or RFA (n = 14). Triphasic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), routine blood tests, and peripheral blood immune responses were evaluated before the treatment and in 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after. Local tumor response and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and pre- and post-treatment immune cell counts were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests. A significantly longer PFS was observed in the multi-mode thermal therapy group in comparison to that of the conventional RFA group (median, 11.4 versus 3.4 months, p = 0.022). It was found that multi-mode therapy induced the functional maturation of dendritic cells, promoted CD4+ T cell-mediated antitumor responses, and decreased regulatory T cells, contributing to better therapeutic efficacy in CRCLM patients.
