CONCLUSIONS: CEUS-CECT/CEMRI fusion imaging for guiding RFA enables an efficient and useful therapy of inconspicuous HCC lesions after TACE. The novel solution prolongs the disease-free survival time and reduces the long-term local recurrence of residual lesions treated when using virtual-navigation (VN)-guided RFA.PMID:34296656 | DOI:10.1080/02656736.2021.1943545 (Source: International Journal of Hyperthermia)

Prognostic value of liver stiffness measurement in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated by radiofrequency ablation: a meta-analysis
Int J Hyperthermia. 2021;38(1):1052-1059. doi: 10.1080/02656736.2021.1947529.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: In patients with stage 0-A (as per Milan criteria) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) image-guided ablation is less invasive and requires shorter hospitalization than resection, but long-term prognosis is poorer. This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate whether liver stiffness measurement (LSM) could be used to predict prognosis in HCC patients after tumor ablation.METHODS: A literature search was conducted for all studies published till July 2020 in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and EMBASE. Studies were included ...

Insufficient ablation promotes the metastasis of residual non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells via upregulating carboxypeptidase A4
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that sublethal heat stimulus caused by insufficient ablation can promote EMT and enhance the metastatic capacity of NSCLC. CPA4 plays an important role in these biological processes. Inhibition of CPA4 might be of great significance for improving early-stage NSCLC survival after ablation.PMID:34233564 | DOI:10.1080/02656736.2021.1947530 (Source: International Journal of Hyperthermia)

Could concurrent biopsy and microwave ablation be reliable? Concordance between frozen section examination and final pathology in CT-guided biopsy of lung cancer
Int J Hyperthermia. 2021;38(1):1031-1036. doi: 10.1080/02656736.2021.1947528.ABSTRACTPURPOSE: Microwave ablation combined with concurrent biopsy has been used for lung cancer. Frozen section (FS) diagnosis is an important supplement for the final pathology (FP). Thus, a retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the concordance between FS examination and FP in the computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy of lung cancer.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients who underwent percutaneous transthoracic needle lung biopsies and were diagnosed using both intraoperative FS examination and FP were retrospectively enrolled. Concordance be...

Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy enhances antitumor effects on ovarian cancer through immune-mediated cancer stem cell targeting
CONCLUSION: We demonstrated that the superior therapeutic efficacy and reduced proportion of CSCs associated with intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy were immune-related. Hyperthermia recruits the phagocytes that target surviving CSCs after chemotherapy. These results provide a novel mechanism for the efficacy of HIPEC in treating ovarian cancer.PMID:34192990 | DOI:10.1080/02656736.2021.1945688 (Source: International Journal of Hyperthermia)

Efficacy and safety of single-session radiofrequency ablation for intrathoracic goiter: preliminary results and short-term evaluation
Int J Hyperthermia. 2021;38(1):976-984. doi: 10.1080/02656736.2021.1942241.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: An intrathoracic goiter (ITG) is defined as a thyroid extension below the sternal notch. Compared to cervical goiters, surgery for ITG is more challenging, with a higher risk of an extracervical approach. Ultrasound (US)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive treatment modality. The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of RFA in patients with ITG.METHODS: From a total of 324 patients who underwent thyroid RFA at a single medical center, 15 patients (mean age 52.2 years;...
