Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201402996-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Photothermal ablation of primary tumors with single‐walled carbon nanotubes</bold> is demonstrated to be able to trigger significant adaptive immune responses, which are not observed if tumors are removed by surgical resection. Such a treatment in combination with anti‐CTLA‐4 antibody therapy is able to prevent the development of tumor metastasis, which is a major cause of cancer death. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh2t46k0jg" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
