First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study tests a treatment called HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) for people with pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The treatment uses sound waves to destroy tumor tissue from inside the body. The trial has two parts: first, checking how safe the procedure is, and second, seeing if it helps patients live longer. About 26 adults with a single tumor smaller than 4 cm and stable disease after chemotherapy will take part.
