Abstract:Cancer remains a leading cause of human death worldwide and the total number of cases globally is increasing constantly, thus it is urgent to explore new and effective therapies for the cancer treatment. This paper reviewed 10 primary biological hallmarks of the cancer, introduced the distinguished advantages of tumor ablation induced by nanosecond pulse targeting tumor biological hallmarks, such as inducing cell apoptosis, inhibiting angiogenesis, destroying tumor microenvironment. We also elaborated the research progress of tumor ablation induced by nanosecond pulse employed in the treatment of cutaneous melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma and other tumors, showing an attractive application prospect.
