Abstract:
Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) on pancreatic carcinoma. Methods Forty-four patients with pancreatic carcinoma were treated with HIFU. The response rate, clinical beneficial response, overall survival and side effects were evaluated after the treatment. Results The rate of pain relief was 94.74%, the overall 1-, 3-, and 5-years survival rates were 15.91 %, 6. 82%, 2. 27%, respectively;and the median survival time was 8(3～71) months. No complications, such as pancreatisis and gastrointestinal injury occurred. Conclusion HIFU is an effective, non invasive and safe approach in the treatment of pancreatic carcinoma.For the patients with severe condition and intolerable to other methods, HIFU may be a good choice.
