NEW ADVANCE IN IR FROM MALAYSIA Basri Johan Jeet Abdullah Department of Radiology & Nuclear Medicine, Prince Court Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, Taylor’s University, Selangor, Malaysia Tremendous progress has been made in both the technological advances and clinical applications of thermal ablation with improving outcomes. Recent interest of the immunological effects in moderating cellular responses has spurred increased growth of this treatment modality. This interest has been accelerated by
the explosion in immunotherapy as a third pillar of clinical oncology. We will discuss how the creation of artificial pneumothorax and use of newer muscle relaxants in general anaesthesia have enhanced the capabilities of thermal ablation i.e. MWA in our practice.
