Cryoablation and Immunotherapy: An Enthralling Synergy to Confront the Tumors
Open accessAbstract
Treatment of solid tumors by ablation techniques has gained momentum in the recent years due to their technical simplicity and reduced morbidity as juxtaposed to surgery. Cryoablation is one of such techniques, known for its uniqueness to destroy the tumors by freezing to lethal temperatures. Freezing the tumor locally and allowing it to remain in situ unleashes an array of tumor antigens to be exposed to the immune system, paving the way for the generation of anti-tumor immune responses. However, the immune responses triggered in most cases are insufficient to eradicate the tumors with systemic spread. Therefore, combination of cryoablation and immunotherapy is a new treatment strategy currently being evaluated for its efficacy, notably in patients with metastatic disease. This article examines the mechanistic fabric of cryoablation for the generation of an effective immune response against the tumors, and various possibilities of its combination with different immunotherapies that are capable of inducing exceptional therapeutic responses. The combinatorial treatment avenues discussed in this article if explored in sufficient profundity, could reach the pinnacle of future cancer medicine.

Clinical outcomes of tumor cryoablation-both obtaining local control and achieving an abscopal effect-are highly unpredictable with variable magnitudes of response and frequent failure of local recurrence.
“Despite these theoretical benefits, clinical outcomes of tumor cryoablation—both obtaining local control and achieving an abscopal effects—are highly unpredictable with variable magnitudes of response and frequent failure of local recurrence.”
From Functional tumor cell-intrinsic STING, not host STING, drives local and systemic antitumor immunity and therapy efficacy following cryoablation (2023) · cites this paper as [77]
The ‘Critical Aspects’ section (page unavailable) says some patients experience local tumor progression after cryoablation and that factors governing its effects remain ill-defined. The ‘Immunology of Cryoablation’ section (page unavailable) describes variable immune responses and limited abscopal regression. These passages support uncertainty in outcomes, but the source says only a fraction of patients have local progression, not that local failure is frequent. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
