Mechanical disruption of tumors by iron particles and magnetic field application results in increased anti-tumor immune responses.

Mechanical disruption of tumors by iron particles and magnetic field application results in increased anti-tumor immune responses.

The primary tumor represents a potential source of antigens for priming immune responses for disseminated disease. Current means of debulking tumors involves the use of cytoreductive conditioning that impairs immune cells or removal by surgery. We hypothesized that activation of the immune system co...
