First Clinical Experience of Intra-Operative High Intensity Focused Ultrasound in Patients with Colorectal Liver Metastases: A Phase I-IIa Study
BACKGROUND Surgery is the only curative treatment in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM), but only 10-20% of patients are eligible. High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology is of proven value in several indications, notably prostate cancer. Its intra-operative use in patients with CLM has not previously been studied. Preclinical work suggested the safety and feasibility o...
متن کاملIntra-operative high intensity focused ultrasound in patients with colorectal liver metastases: results of a phase I-II study in 21 patients
Background/introduction Managing colorectal liver metastases (CLM) is a major clinical challenge, and surgery remains the only potentially curative treatment. Five-year survival rates of up to 51% have been recently reported. However, only 10-20% of patients are eligible for surgery, which is often precluded by the number, size and/or location of metastases, or because the necessary resection w...
متن کاملHigh-intensity focused ultrasound ablation for the treatment of colorectal liver metastases during an open procedure: study on the pig.
OBJECTIVE To demonstrate in a porcine model that high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) with toroid-shaped emitters may have a role in treating unresectable colorectal liver metastases. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Surgical resection is the only curative option for colorectal hepatic metastases. Only 20% of patients are suitable for surgery. Many ablative techniques have been assessed but severa...
متن کاملEfficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound-assisted hepatic resection (HIFU-AR) on blood loss reduction in patients with liver metastases requiring hepatectomy: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND Liver resection is the only potentially curative treatment for colorectal liver metastases (LM). It is considered a safe procedure, but is often associated with blood loss during liver transection. Blood transfusions are frequently needed, but they are associated with increased morbidity and risk of recurrence. Many surgical devices have been developed to decrease blood loss. However...
