Abstract

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a widely used and effective treatment for primary or metastatic liver cancer with small-size lesions. However, the therapeutic effectiveness of RFA in controlling metastatic lesion or recurrence is still limited. As the major cell population in tumor microenvironment (TME), macrophages have been reported to be recruited to RFA-treated lesion, but their roles are still unclear. Herein, we successfully established the mouse model mimicking RFA-induced abscopal effect, in which RFA eliminated the local orthotopic liver tumor but failed to control growth of distant tumor. Correspondently, RFA suppressed protumoral activation of local tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), but failed to reprogram TAMs in distance. Importantly, although RFA led to reduced proportion of hepatic CD169
