The efficacy of ultrasonic ablation combined with medication in the treatment of adenomyosis: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Frontiers in Pharmacology
BackgroundAdenomyosis occurs when tissue from the inner lining of the endometrium grows into the muscle wall of the myometrium. Previous studies have suggested that High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) combined with medications may improve treatment ...

Harnessing the nonthermal effects of ultrasound for cancer treatment: From mechanisms to applications

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
Nonthermal ultrasound transforms acoustic energy into diverse therapeutic bioeffects through cavitation, mechanical stimulation, and physicochemical activation. This review discusses how acoustic parameters, biological mechanisms, and responsive materials interact to influence nonthermal ultrasound‐enabled cancer therapies. Mechanism‐guided engineering

Mapping the lineage of prostate tissue ablation medical device predicates for focal therapy of prostate cancer approved via the FDA 510(k) clearance pathway

Surgical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Medical devices are reviewed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety and effectiveness. Class II devices can receive 510(k) clearance if they are “substantially equivalent” to an existing predicate device. This process can be repeated iteratively, leading to a lineage of predicates for newly cleared devices.

High-intensity focused ultrasound ablation to increase tumor-specific lymphocytes in prostate cancer

Translational Oncology
Treatment options for localized prostate cancer have been expanded by FDA-approval of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). Prostate cancer typically has few tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, which are crucial for antitumor immunity.

HIFU ultrasound power measurements at INRiM

Metrologia, 2011
In this work the new system for the ultrasound power measurement of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound transducers realized at INRIM ultrasounds laboratory is presented. The system is based on a submersible load cell that takes the place of the balance. This solution presents essentially two advantages.

Interventional oncology in children: Where are we now?

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
Abstract Paediatric Interventional Oncology (IO) lags behind adult IO due to a scarcity of specific outcome data. The suboptimal way to evolve this field is relying heavily on adult experiences. The distinct tumour types prevalent in children, such as extracranial germ cell tumours, sarcomas, and neuroblastoma, differ strongly from those found in ...
