Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare interstitial laser thermotherapy with excision of a liver tumour. A dimethylhydrazine-induced adenocarcinoma was implanted into the left lateral lobe of the rat liver, and treatment was performed 8 days later. Rats were treated with resection of the tumour-bearing lobe or underwent interstitial laser thermotherapy, which was performed at a steady-state temperature of 46°C for 30 min, 3 mm from the tumour margin. The incidence and extent of intraperitoneal spread was smaller after laser thermotherapy than after resection, with no difference in local control. Using inoculation of tumour cell suspensions into the lateral and the median lobes of the liver simultaneously and treating the lateral lobe... (More)

The aim of this study was to compare interstitial laser thermotherapy with excision of a liver tumour. A dimethylhydrazine-induced adenocarcinoma was implanted into the left lateral lobe of the rat liver, and treatment was performed 8 days later. Rats were treated with resection of the tumour-bearing lobe or underwent interstitial laser thermotherapy, which was performed at a steady-state temperature of 46°C for 30 min, 3 mm from the tumour margin. The incidence and extent of intraperitoneal spread was smaller after laser thermotherapy than after resection, with no difference in local control. Using inoculation of tumour cell suspensions into the lateral and the median lobes of the liver simultaneously and treating the lateral lobe tumour only, we found that laser thermotherapy reduced take and growth of the untreated tumour in the median lobe indicating that laser thermotherapy may induce immunologic effects. It is concluded that interstitial laser thermotherapy reduces spread of liver tumour as compared to resection. It is suggested that this can be at least partly explained by a laser-induced immunologic effect.
