Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung tumors are prevalent malignancies associated with a high mortality rate, imposing significant medical and societal burdens. Although immunotherapy shows promise in improving survival, response rates are relatively modest. Thermal ablation can not only eliminate tumor cells directly but also enhance antitumor immunity response, thus manifesting a remarkable propensity to synergize with immunotherapy. SUMMARY In this review, we provided a brief overview of the application of thermal ablation in peripheral lung tumors. We summarized the patient selection of thermal ablation. We highlighted the potential of thermal ablation to augment the antitumor immune response, offering a promising avenue for combined therapies. We summarized studies assessing the synergistic effects of thermal ablation and immunotherapy in preclinical and clinical settings. Lastly, we underscored the urgent issues that warrant in-depth exploration when applying thermal ablation and immunotherapy to lung tumor patients. KEY MESSAGES This review emphasized the prospects of using thermal ablation combined with immunotherapy in patients with peripheral lung tumors. However, further research is needed to enhance and optimize this treatment strategy.

Abstract
Cryoablation, as a minimally invasive technology for the treatment of tumors, destroys target tumors with lethal low temperatures. It simultaneously releases a large number of tumor-specific antigens, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and nucleoproteins, known as "danger signals", activating the body's innate and adaptive immune responses. However, tumor cells can promote the inactivation of immune effector cells by reprogramming immune checkpoints, leading to the insufficiency of these antigens to induce an immune response capable of eradicating the tumor. Immune checkpoint blockers rejuvenate exhausted T cells by blocking immune checkpoints that induce programmed death of T cells, and are therefore considered a promising therapeutic strategy to enhance the immune effects of cryoablation. In this review, we provide a detailed explanation of the immunological mechanisms of cryoablation and articulate the theoretical basis and research progress of the treatment of cancer with cryoablation combined with immune checkpoint blockers. Preliminary data indicates that this combined treatment strategy exhibits good synergy and has been proven to be safe and effective.

J Immunother Cancer 2024; 12:e008386.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cryoablation is a minimally invasive option for patients with medically inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and can trigger abscopal immune-regulatory effects. However, it remains unclear how cryoablation affects the host-level immune response in NSCLC. In this study, we investigated the local and systemic immunological effects of cryoablation and the potential of combining cryoablation with programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blockade to boost immunotherapy efficacy in NSCLC. METHODS We first investigated systemic immunological effects induced by cryoablation in patients with early-stage NSCLC. Subsequently, we explored cryoablation-induced antitumor immunity and the underlying biological mechanisms using KP (Kras G12D/+, Tp53 -/-) mutant lung cancer cell allograft mouse models. Moreover, the synergistic efficacy of cryoablation and PD-1 blockade was explored in both mouse models and patients with unresectable NSCLC. RESULTS We found that cryoablation significantly increased circulating CD8+ T cell subpopulations and proinflammatory cytokines in patients with early-stage NSCLC. In lung cancer cell allograft mouse models, we demonstrated that cryoablation resulted in abscopal growth inhibition of contralateral, non-ablated tumors. Integrated analysis of bulk, single-cell RNA and T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing data revealed that cryoablation reprogrammed the intratumoral immune microenvironment and increased CD8+ T cell infiltration with higher effector signature, interferon (IFN) response, and cytolytic activity. Mechanistically, cryoablation promoted antitumor effect through the STING-dependent type I IFN signaling pathway, and type I IFN signaling blockade attenuated this antitumor effect. We also found that the combination of PD-1 blockade with cryoablation further inhibited tumor growth compared with either treatment alone in an allograft mouse model. Moreover, the combination therapy induced notable tumor suppression and CD8+ T cell infiltration in patients with unresectable NSCLC. CONCLUSIONS Our results provide mechanistic insights into how cryoablation triggers the antitumor immune effect in lung cancer, thereby potentiating programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1)/PD-1 blockade efficacy in the clinical treatment of NSCLC.

Abstract
Background Effective treatment for advanced soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) is necessary for improved outcomes. Previous studies have suggested that cryoablation can have a synergistic effect with programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitor in the treatment of malignancy. This study aimed to clarify the efficacy and safety of argon-helium knife cryoablation in combination with PD-1 inhibitor in the treatment of STSs. Methods Retrospectively collected and analyzed the clinical data of patients with advanced STS who underwent cryoablation and PD-1 inhibitor between March 2018 and December 2021. Results This study included 27 patients with advanced STS. In terms of target lesions treated with cryoablation, 1 patient achieved complete response, 15 patients had partial response (PR), 10 patients had stable disease, and 1 patient had progressive disease. This corresponded to an overall response rate of 59.3% and a disease control rate of 96.3%. In terms of distant target lesions untreated with cryoablation, only two patients had a PR compared to the diameter of the lesion before ablation. The combination therapy was relatively well tolerated. None of the patients experienced treatment-related death or delayed treatment due to adverse events. Conclusion Cryoablation combined with PD-1 inhibitors in the therapy of advanced STS is safe and can effectively shrink the cryoablation-target lesion. However, there is no evidence of the synergistic effects of this combination therapy.

Abstract
Cryoablation has been clinically applied to the treatment of lung cancer, but cryoablation has the problem of incomplete tumor killing when the freezing dose is not enough, which may lead to tumor recurrence or metastasis. Therefore, cryoablation combined with other therapeutic options is usually suggested to achieve a complete cure for lung cancer. Clinical practices have shown that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment can improve the quality of life of patients with advanced lung cancer and prolong the postoperative survival time. However, the mechanism of the synergistic effect of Chinese medicine and cryotherapy, and the optimal treatment plan have not been clarified so far. Therefore, the effect of TCM particles on ice crystal growth and phase transition during cooling was investigated. In addition, we explored the optimized concentration and combination treatment sequence of TCM (lung care formula) and validated the optimal treatment protocol by establishing a mouse model of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In general, cryoablation combined with TCM is a useful treatment for lung cancer, which can effectively solve the problem of tumor recurrence after cryoablation.

Abstract
Despite remarkable advances in tumor response and patient survival in the past decade, systemic immunotherapies for lung cancer result in an objective response in only around half of patients treated. On the basis of this limitation, combination strategies are being investigated to improve response rates. Cryoablation has been proposed as one such technique to induce immunogenic cell death and synergize with systemic immunotherapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors. Cryoablation has been traditionally delivered percutaneously with imaging guidance although recent technological advances allow for bronchoscopic delivery. Herein, we review the pre-clinical and clinical evidence for the use of cryoablation in non-small cell lung cancer and potential induction of anti-tumor immunity. We highlight ongoing studies involving this approach and propose areas of future investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrence and metastasis of bladder cancer are major factors affecting patient prognosis. Endoscopic cryoablation achieved a better clinical outcome among clinical patients and could be synergistic with ICIs. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the immunological mechanism of cryoablation for bladder cancer to reveal the therapeutic mechanism. METHODS We systematically reviewed the clinical prognosis of patients underwent cryoablation at Huashan Hospital in these first-in-human studies (ChiCTR-INR-17013060). Murine models were constructed to explore cryoablation-induced tumour-specific immunity, which was further confirmed by primary bladder tumour organoids and autologous lymphocytes cocultured system. RESULTS Cryoablation improved progression-free survival and recurrence-free survival respectively. Assessment of murine models after cryoablation confirmed microenvironment remodelling and tumour-specific T cells expansion. Enhanced antitumour effects were found after coculture of organoids with autologous lymphocytes collected from post-cryoablation. We also demonstrated cryoablation-induced tumour elimination required IFNGR expression on tumour cells. In addition, a long-lasting antitumour memory response is achieved by cryoablation and could be enhanced after combination with ICIs. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed endoscopic cryoablation is an efficient and safe therapy for bladder tumour treatment. The tumour-specific immune responses induced by cryoablation could reduce tumour recurrence and metastasis.

Abstract
The preferred treatment for lung cancer is surgical resection, but a large number of patients are not suitable for surgical resection in clinic. CT-guided cryoablation and immunotherapy can play an important role in patients with advanced lung cancer who are ineligible for surgery. CT-guided cryoablation has been widely used in the clinical treatment of lung tumors due to its advantages of less trauma, fewer complications, significant efficacy and rapid recovery. Cryoablation can not only cause tumor necrosis and apoptosis, but also promote the release of tumor-derived autoantigens into the blood circulation, and stimulate the host immune system to produce a good anti-tumor immune effect against primary and metastatic tumors. Since the study of immune checkpoint inhibitors has proved that lung cancer can be an immunotherapeutic response disease, the relationship between cryoablation and immunotherapy of lung cancer has been paid more attention. Therefore, we reviewed the literature on cryoablation for lung cancer, as well as the research progress of cryoablation combined with immunotherapy.
