Incomplete thermal ablation accelerates local and systemic tumor progression in an immunocompetent prostate cancer model
iTA can trigger tissue responses that accelerate tumor progression both locally and at distant sites, underscoring the need for careful pretreatment risk assessment (tumor size, achievable margins, proximity to critical structures) and vigilant monitoring of both treated and untreated disease after ablation.
