Advances of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for pancreatic cancer
International Journal of Hyperthermia, 2013 High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a novel therapeutic modality. Several preclinical and clinical studies have investigated the safety and efficacy of HIFU for treating solid tumours, including pancreatic cancer. Preliminary studies suggest that HIFU may be useful for the palliative therapy of cancer-related pain in patients with unresectable ...
