Ultrasound is emerging as an effective treatment for pancreatic cancer. HIFU uses focused heat to target and destroy cancer cells, and there is minimal harm to the body. We report on its potential.

And sonodynamic therapy had already succeeded in in vivo trials on mouse models of colon and pancreatic cancer. Muragaki began exploring high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), along with drugs ...

Wallace. Dr. Wallace says two screening tests are recommended for pancreatic cancer: MRI and endoscopic ultrasound. "Screening should be done in a center that can conduct a high-quality MRI and a ...

Background and Aim: We report our single-centre experience with endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of solid pancreatic lesions with regard to clinical utility ...

The device delivers ultrasound energy to the patient’s pancreas and generates localized heat of up to 100 degrees Celsius that destroys cancer cells in the organ. Other types of ultrasound waves ...

The Phase I aims at evaluating the tolerance of intraoperative High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) intervention on the pancreatic lesion. The phase II aims at evaluating the preliminary ...

Endoscopic ultrasound examination revealed an approximately 4-cm well-defined hypoechoic homogeneous mass in the head of the pancreas (Figures 4, 5); with adjacent 2-cm well-defined hypoechoic ...

BUT LATELY THOSE PATIENTS WHO ARE AT HIGH RISK FOR PANCREATIC CANCER, WE OFFER SCREENING AT OUR CENTER, WHICH MAY INCLUDE ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND, VERY SPECIALIZED TEST TO LOOK AT THE PANCREAS AND ...
