Ultrasound guided high intensity focused ultrasound (USgHIFU) for malignant tumors: survival advantage in stage III and IV pancreatic cancer.

چکیده
Methods From February 2008 to April 2014 we have treated 148 malignant cases. Of those, 48 cases of non resectable pancreatic tumors were treated from March 2010 to April 2014, and we include the first 43 patients to the analysis (until December 2013). All of them underwent systemic chemotherapy with a standard combination. Clinical responses (thermical ablation achieved) were measured by image techniques. They were 29 Stage III cases and 14 Stage IV cases. Complications were also analyzed.

Results Clinical responses (ablation obtained) were 82% in all cases, sustained at 8 weeks of the procedure. We obtained 10 complete responses (25%) at the end of the combined treatment, 9 from stage III patients and 2 from stage IV. Major complications included severe pancreatitis with GI bleeding (1), skin burning grade III that required plastic surgery (2). No deaths were registered. Median ...

Surgery has been the standard of care in selected cases with solid tumors. However, a majority of patients are unable to undergo surgical resection because of the tumor sites, advanced stages, or poor general condition. High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a novel non-invasive technique that is capable of producing coagulative necrosis at a precise focal point within the body, without ha...
