High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Treatment for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is under high mortality but has few effective treatment modalities. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is becoming an emerging approach of noninvasively ablating solid tumor in clinics. A variety of solid tumors have been tried on thousands of patients in the last fifteen years with great success. The principle, mechanism, and clinical outcome of HIFU were introduced fir...

متن کاملNon invasive palliation for advanced pancreatic cancer using high intensity focused ultrasound
Background A majority of patients (85-90%) diagnosed with pancreatic cancer has advanced disease at the time of diagnosis with a dismal prognosis. Pain is a common symptom in patients (60-90%) with advanced disease. Pain is neuropathic and inflammatory, resulting from both tumour expansion and tumour invasion of the celiac and mesenteric plexus. Opioids have side effects and may not be sufficie...
متن کاملMR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound for noninvasive cancer treatment
Magnetic resonance (MR)-high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is an innovative, noninvasive tumour ablation technique. MR imaging and focused ultrasound are combined allowing real-time anatomic guidance and temperature mapping during treatment. Recently, the volumetric ablation approach has been introduced in order to reduce treatment length and provide more homogeneous tumour ablation. Afte...
