What does the future hold for microwave? Medicine

, 2015
There are certain limitations and problems with using microwave radiation for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, such as the spatial resolution, the penetration depth, the ability to focus the radiation, and the electromagnetic interference. Radiation,

Microwave ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma

World Journal of Hepatology, 2015
Although surgical resection is still the optimal treatment option for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with well compensated cirrhosis, thermal ablation techniques provide a valid non-surgical treatment alternative, thanks to their minimal invasiveness, excellent tolerability and safety profile, proven efficacy in local disease ...

CAN MICROWAVE ABLATION BE AN ALTERNATIVE TO RESECTION FOR THE TREATMENT OF NEUROENDOCRINE LIVER METASTASES?

, 2020
OBJECTIVES Surgical resection of neuroendocrine tumor liver metastases has been proven to improve survival, but the benefit of microwave ablation as an alternative or adjunct to surgery has yet to be assessed.

The clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of ablative therapies in the management of liver metastases: systematic review and economic evaluation

, 2014
Background: Many deaths from cancer are caused by metastatic burden. Prognosis and survival rates vary, but survival beyond 5 years of patients with untreated metastatic disease in the liver is rare.

Microwave ablation in the treatment of liver tumors. A better tool or simply more power?

, 2020
It has been a long time since tumor ablation was first tested in patients with liver cancer, especially hepatocellular carcinoma. Since than it has become a first line treatment modality for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Engineered extracellular vesicles enriched with the miR‐214/199a cluster enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the miR‐214/199a cluster is associated with recurrence in ovarian cancer. Engineered small extracellular vesicles (m214‐sEVs) elevate miR‐214‐3p/miR‐199a‐5p in tumor cells, suppress β‐catenin, TLR4, and YKT6 signaling, reprogram tumor‐derived sEV cargo, reduce chemoresistance and migration, and enhance carboplatin efficacy and survival in ...

CCDC80 suppresses high‐grade serous ovarian cancer migration via negative regulation of B7‐H3

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PAX8 is a lineage‐specific master regulator of transcription in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) progression. We show for the first time that PAX8 facilitates proliferation and metastasis by repressing the cell autonomous tumor suppressor CCDC80 and inducing B7‐H3 expression.
