Sequential microwave ablation combined with radioactive iodine-125 seed implantation successfully cured multiple metastases of gallbladder cancer: A case report.

ABSTRACT: Advanced tumors are associated with treatment dilemmas. High-risk diffuse metastasis results in increased difficulty in treatment. Furthermore, the deterioration of the patient's physical condition gives rise to an inability to tolerate high-intensity systemic treatment. As a palliative treatment for patients with advanced cancer, interventional therapy is characterized by precise targeting and fewer adverse reactions. Nevertheless, its role is frequently overlooked. Therefore, a female patient who only received local palliative treatment with microwave ablation and radioactive iodine-125 seed implantation for multiple metastatic masses of gallbladder cancer is reported. This intervention achieved complete systemic remission, representing a rare instance of durable systemic remission witho
