摘要
Objective: To study preliminary experience of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for unresectable malignant tumors in 75 patients. Methods: The clinical data of 75 patients with unresectable tumor was analyzed retrospectively. Results: Among 75 patients, ten out of 57 cases achieved good local control in short-term, 5 patients liver tumor, 4 patients with tumor in the chest wall and one patient with bone matestics. Seven patients had skin burn and 2 patients developed intestinal perforations. Conclusion: HIFU is a novel tool for local tumor treatment. HIFU treatment for patients with unresectable tumor in the chest wall is effective.
