Summary

This study tests a technique called sonoporation, which uses ultrasound and tiny bubbles to help chemotherapy drugs get into cancer cells more effectively. It includes 120 adults with advanced or hard-to-remove pancreatic cancer who are already scheduled for standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding sonoporation can slow tumor growth and help patients tolerate more treatment cycles.
