Thermal ablation of tumors by Nd:YAG laser has been growing as a multidisciplinary subspecialty defined as laser‐induced thermal therapy (LITT), and has been increasingly accepted as a minimally invasive method for palliation of advanced or recurrent cancer. Previous studies have shown that adjuvant chemotherapy can potentiate laser thermal ablation of tumors leading to improved palliation in advanced cancer patients.
