Amidst the ongoing advancements of modern medicine, oncology treatment is evolving towards greater precision, minimal invasiveness, and enhanced patient-centered care. At the Hyperthermia/HIFU Center of Beijing South Region Oncology Hospital, a warm “beam of light” known as “HIFU Knife” is illuminating a new treatment path for many cancer patients facing complex challenges—one that requires no surgery and involves minimal trauma. Here, there are no cold scalpels or lengthy incisions. Patients, while the equipment operates gently, only feel precise warmth deep within the affected area. Within hours, they can stand up and return to their families. This is not only a technological innovation but also a profound commitment to preserving patients’ quality of life and dignity.
**HIFU Knife: The Invisible Blade, Precisely Targeting Tumors**
The “HIFU Knife” is not an actual metal blade but a High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) tumor treatment system. Its principle is akin to focusing sunlight with a magnifying glass. Doctors operate externally, allowing harmless ultrasound waves to penetrate human tissues silently and converge precisely on the tumor target. This generates instant high temperatures sufficient to deactivate tumor cells, achieving the goal of “ablating” the lesion. The entire process requires no incisions, involves no bleeding, and does not necessitate general anesthesia, thereby maximizing the protection of surrounding healthy tissues and the functions of vital organs. It offers a crucial option for patients unable to tolerate traditional surgery or those wishing to preserve organ function.
**Three Patient Stories: A Ray of Light in Difficult Times**
1. **When Pancreatic Cancer Meets Uremia: Seizing the Critical “Time Window” for Life**
Aunt Zhang from Liaoning faced the dual challenges of pancreatic cancer and acute severe kidney damage (with creatinine levels as high as 577). Open surgery posed extremely high risks. Our hospital’s multidisciplinary team (MDT) sprang into action promptly. Nephrology and oncology specialists first stabilized her kidney function, miraculously lowering her creatinine levels to a safe range. Seizing this precious window of opportunity, the HIFU Knife precisely ablated the pancreatic lesion, avoiding major trauma and securing decisive opportunities for follow-up treatments.
2. **The Young Father with Liver Cancer: Preserving the Liver, Supporting the Family**
Mr. Zhao, a 37-year-old father of three, was diagnosed with liver cancer accompanied by severe jaundice. Liver preservation was crucial. We devised a staged HIFU treatment plan for him: first, precisely “targeting” the main lesion, then planning the next steps after his liver function improved. This strategy maximally protected his healthy liver tissue, safeguarding his “foundation” as the family pillar and his future.
3. **After Multiple Rounds of Treatment: Exploring New Possibilities in Complex Situations**
Aunt Chen, in her 50s, faced multiple complexities such as peritoneal metastasis and ascites after pancreatic cancer treatment, having undergone various therapies that left her physically and mentally exhausted. The HIFU Knife brought her new hope. After an hour of treatment, imaging evaluations showed the tumor achieved the expected ablation effect, adding a powerful tool and psychological comfort to her long journey against the disease.
