Thermo-immune synergy: Camrelizumab plus microwave ablation in preoperative early-stage breast cancer

Med. 2024 Apr 12;5(4):278-280. doi: 10.1016/j.medj.2024.02.004.

Abstract

Immunotherapy has enhanced breast cancer outcomes, but optimizing combination therapies is crucial. Integrating additional treatment modalities, like physical therapies, holds promise for optimizing efficacy. Pan et al. recently reported that combining preoperative immunotherapy with microwave ablation is safe and feasible in early-stage breast cancer, effectively sensitizing peripheral CD8+ T cells.1.
