Purpose: We evaluated the effect of a new antitumour immunity regimen that included microwave ablation, intratumoural microspheres encapsulating granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and blockade of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4).Materials and methods: C57BL6 mice with an established subcutaneous Hepa 1-6 hepatoma underwent microwave ablation, followed by intratumoural injection of GM-CSF microspheres, and intraperitoneal injection of anti-CTLA-4 antibodies. The therapeutic effects were evaluated by tumour growth, survival analysis, and cytotoxicity of T lymphocytes against Hepa 1-6.Results: The co-administration of microwave thermal ablation, GM-CSF microspheres, and anti-CTLA-4 rejected tumour rechallenge in 90% of treated mice in a subcutaneous murine Hepa 1-6 model, and cured established distant tumour in 50% of the treated mice. This antitumour immune response was tumour-specific and mediated by natural killer (NK), CD4+, and CD8+T cells.Conclusions: Microwave ablation, followed by intratumoural GM-CSF microspheres, and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies results in the local eradication of tumours, rejection of tumours following rechallenge, and cures established distant tumours, suggesting that this is a promising regimen and one that is readily applicable in the clinic.
