    Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is a prevalent malignancy with limited treatment efficacy for metastatic cases.

  • 2

    Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown potential but exhibit low overall response rates in metastatic CRC.

  • 3

    Physical ablation (PA) not only targets lesions but also enhances anti-tumor immunity by releasing tumor-associated antigens.

  • 4

    Combining ICIs with PA can synergistically improve anti-tumor immune responses by inhibiting immunosuppressive pathways.

  • 5

    The article reviews challenges and future directions for combining PA and ICIs to enhance treatment outcomes in metastatic CRC.
