Histotripsy x Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the deadliest malignancies, with 5-year survival around 12% despite advances in surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Existing ablative therapies (RFA, microwave, irreversible electroporation) are limited by thermal injury risk, proximity to vessels/ducts. Novel local therapies that can be integrated with systemic regimens are urgently needed. Histotripsy is a non-thermal focused ultrasound modality that uses controlled cavitation to mechanically liquefy tissue without thermal coagulation or ionizing radiation, with precision under real
