In recent years, it is prevalent to treat various kinds of the tumors through microwave ablation method. However, it is still very difficult to ablate large tumors by the traditional microwave ablation therapy. In this work, an effective microwave embolization agent designed by encapsulating molybdenum sulfide nanosheets in the sodium alginate microcapsules, denoted as MSMCs, was prepared for the effective therapy of large tumor. The toxicity evaluation showed that MSMC had a good biocompatibility in vitro. The in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the MSMC was an excellent embolic and microwave susceptible agent that could be used for dual-enhanced microwave ablation therapy. As such, the MSMC showed excellent tumor therapeutic effect with 5 times larger ablation zone observed by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging than the microwave alone after 3 days treating. Besides, the tumor is nearly completely ablated and can not be recurrent due to the persistent hyperthermia. Moreover, MSMCs have a good biocompatibility and can be degraded and cleared from the body. It is believed that the MSMC is demonstrated to be a promising multifunctional theranostic agent used for treating the larger tumor via the synergistic therapy of enhanced microwave ablation and transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE).

Background: Our previous study demonstrated that temperature-related microwave ablation (MWA) can safely modulate growth plates of piglets' vertebrae. Therefore, this study is designed to investigate the effects of different temperatures on chondrocyte viability and the underlying molecular mechanisms in vitro.

Methods: Following a 10-minute treatment at different temperatures (37 °C, 40 °C, 42 °C, 44 °C, 46 °C, 48 °C, and 50 °C), CCK-8 assay was used to examine the viability of ATDC5 cells at 12 h.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of the combination of microwave ablation (MWA) with immune checkpoints blockade and TLR9 stimulation in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using the C57BL/6 tumor-bearing mice model.

Materials And Methods: Tumor-bearing mice were treated with MWA, programmed cell death protein1 blockade (PD-1) plus MWA (MWA + P), TLR9 agonist CpG ODNs and MWA (MWA + C), PD-1 blockade and CpG ODNs (P + C), MWA plus PD-1 blockade and CpG ODNs (MWA + P + C), or untreated. Survival time was evaluated with the Kaplan-Meyer method comparing survival curves by log-rank test.

Background: Pulmonary nodule ablation is an effective method for treating pulmonary nodules. This study is based on the traditional CT-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) of pulmonary nodules. By comparing laser guidance technology with freehand method, this study aims to explore the safety and efficacy and patients' pain scores of these two approaches.

Background: Researches comparing laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) with microwave ablation (MWA) for 3-5 cm multifocal hepatocellular carcinoma (MFHCC) are rare.

Materials And Methods: From 2008 to 2019, 666 intrahepatic tumours in 289 patients from 12 tertiary medical centres in China were included in this retrospective study. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to balance variables between the two treatment groups over time frames 2008-2019 and 2013-2019 to observe the potential impact of advancements in intervention techniques on overall survival (OS), disease-free progression (DFS) of patients.

Background: Patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are intolerant to surgery have a poor prognosis. Microwave ablation is an effective treatment method. However, the density of the lesion may occasionally be similar to that of the ablation zone, thus rendering it difficult to identify the relative position of the lesion and ablation zone during ablation.
