Abstract

This study reports a case of an advanced pancreatic cancer patient with liver metastasis who was treated with a combination of chemotherapy, targeted drugs, and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). The abdominal pain was successfully relieved after the HIFU therapy. The patient had an 18-month survival with satisfactory quality of life. Large-scale randomized clinical trials are necessary to evaluate the long-term efficacy of HIFU treatment with or without chemotherapy and/or targeted drug therapy for pancreatic carcinoma.
