This study investigated the effects of intratumoral injection of immunoactivator after microwave ablation on antitumor immunity in a mouse model of hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatocellular carcinoma cell line Hepa1-6 was subcutaneously injected into C57/B6 mice to establish a mouse model of hepatocellular carcinoma. When tumor diameter reached 8 mm, microwave ablation was performed for 3 min wi...

OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical outcomes of microwave endometrial ablation and thermal balloon ablation for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding. DESIGN A double blind randomised controlled trial. SETTING A UK teaching hospital. POPULATION Three hundred and twenty women requesting endometrial ablation. METHODS Operative data collection and patient completed postal questionnaires ...

Microwave ablation (MWA) is an alternative technique to radiofrequency ablation and laser ablation in the treatment of some solid tumors. In contrast to radiofrequency and laser ablation, we are not aware of previous experiences with MWA in fetal procedures, and report here our preliminary experience. Two cases of monochorionic–diamniotic twins, discordant for fetal abnormalities, underwent sel...
