Purpose: To evaluate the changes in T-cell balance in peripheral blood following percutaneous tumor ablation. Material and methods: Patients underwent thermal ablation including radiofrequency (n = 9) and microwave ablation (n = 5), or cryoablation (n = 5). Target tumors were located in the lung (n ...
