Research progress of ablation combined with immunotherapy for prostate cancer / 中国介入影像与治疗学

ABSTRACT

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies in men. Ablation therapy represented by cryoablation is effective in treating prostate cancer. However, currently, how to improve long-term curative effect and reduce local recurrence are the main problems. Ablation therapy can activate the body's anti-tumor immune response, in order to interfere with residual, tumor recurrence and distant metastatic lesions after ablation. The research advancements of ablation combined with immunotherapy for prostate cancer were reviewed in this article.
