| 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 (1) demonstrates a systemic immune response after local RF ablation in a mouse model. © RSNA, 2009. |
