Cold plasma endoscopy applied to biliary ducts: feasibility risk assessment on human-like and porcine models for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma [PDF]
J. Phys. D. Appl. Phys., Vol. 55, No 45, 2022, 2023 For the past twelve years, cold plasmas have been positioned as a breakthrough technology for treating cancer thanks to their antitumor properties. The innovation of ad hoc plasma sources and personalized protocols appears crucial to treat cancers with a very poor prognosis.

Influence of portal vein occlusion on portal flow and liver elasticity in an animal model [PDF]
NMR in Biomedicine, Wiley, 2021, pp.e4498, 2021 Hepatic fibrosis causes an increase in liver stiffness, a parameter measured by elastography and widely used as a diagnosis method. The concomitant presence of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) implies a change in hepatic portal inflow that could also affect liver elasticity.

Bone Metastases from Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Confer Worse Prognosis
Current Oncology, 2023 Background: Metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma still has a dismal prognosis. The aim of our study was to investigate the prognostic role of bone metastases in patients affected by intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Cold-atmospheric plasma induces tumor cell death in preclinical in vivo and in vitro models of human cholangiocarcinoma [PDF]
Cancers, 12, 1280, 2020, 2020 Through the last decade, cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has emerged as an innovative therapeutic option for cancer treatment. Recently, we have set up a potentially safe atmospheric pressure plasma jet device that displays antitumoral properties in a preclinical model of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a rare and very aggressive cancer emerging from the ...
