About the offer

Pancreatic cancer treatment with high-intensity focused ultrasound is carried out without incisions and punctures of the skin and soft tissues. Special devices focus ultrasound waves in the tumor of the pancreas. The ultrasound energy in the human body is converted into heat. At the point where the ultrasound waves converge, the temperature quickly rises to 100°C, and the tumor cells are instantly destroyed. Doctors achieve the desired effect by changing the intensity and duration of exposure. Therefore, HIFU therapy is called “surgery without a knife. ” This method can treat pancreatic tumors of any size and localization. Furthermore, " cutting " is not dangerous because HIFU therapy does not damage adjacent healthy tissues. Before starting the therapy, the patient undergoes an examination (CT, ultrasound, blood test, etc. ). The treatment is performed with local anesthesia and the control of ultrasound. Visualization creates a 3D organ model for the precise focus of ultrasound on the tumor. The physician accurately determines the localization of pancreatic cancer and its size. After setting the necessary parameters, he starts the HIFU device as close to the tumor as possible. Ultrasound energy penetrates healthy tissues, damaging and destroying the cancer cells and vessels that feed them. The session usually lasts 30-90 minutes and does not require hospitalization.
