The supersound melts and treats: Many questions need to answer

The supersound melts and treats: Many questions need to answer
Staff reporter Tan Jia
, the conferee has given the warmest applause to her.
11 years ago, Xiao Xiong was made a definite diagnosis of the malignant flesh and blood tumour, the operation recured 1 and a half years later, that waited for her will be that an amputation even died. Will it be October 1999, she accept supersound that publicise still at that time melt technological treatment. Nowadays, Xiao Xiong not merely assuares the limb succeeds, and healthy life is over 10 years. It is third year university students' she that loves sports, it is a good play to swim even more.
Several tens of thousands of patients in our country receive treatment
Will it be the fifties last century, Fry of American scientist brother proposition focus the intersection of supersound and used for treating the tumour idea on for the first time, and explored tentatively. It is to utilize supersonic wave to organize penetrability and energy depositing characteristic that this one is conceived, until supersonic wave that take place focus internal pathological change on, organize outside the body, utilize high-temperature direct " burn to death " ordered to focus on Sick cells. It is similar that its principle and sunlight are lighted in the principle of the paper of the focus after the magnifying glass is focused on.
Since 1988, the clinical application study of technology that the scientific research group represented by Chongqing medical university Professor Wang ZhiBiao was devoted to melting in supersound, and make the great breakthrough. 1999, China take the lead in, melt, create the treatment technology to apply supersound to clinic in the whole world. Over the past 10 years, our country has already utilized this technology to treat all kinds of several tens of thousands of malignant entity's tumours such as bone tumour, breast cancer, hepatocarcinoma, soft tissue sarcoma. Follow up a case by regular visits to the materials to reveal, has already survived for 10 years after there are 19 patient's treatments, the span of age, from 16 years old to 80 years old. 20 -year-old Xiao Xiong is one of these.
"Supersound technology of melting can orientation kill the target region organize cells, but will not damage the surrounding tissue, development potentiality is enormous in the future. " World treat ultrasonics can founder, president and concurrently the intersection of research institute and chief Hal of expert Gatt Professor, cancer of Britain, say. On this forum, except that the achievement of 10 years of technological clinical practice that the supersound of Chinese scholar's report melts is encouraging, the scholars of various countries are utilizing supersound to melt technology is treating the exploration of entity's tumours such as pancreas cancer, kidney cancer,etc., also let conferees see the broad application prospect of this new technology.
It is reported, at present, it has not been limited to treating malignant tumour yet that the supersound melts in the range of application of technology, have shown the good prospect in research and clinical practice that is not tumour.
PLA general hospital supersound head of the department Wang Wei introduces, since October of 2006 so far, department this adopt supersound melt technology create treating to 400 more than name palace skin tumour patient already, condition of the patients of 99% gets effective improvement. Spain HMT director Manunel tells reporters, the supersound melted the technological treatment had already become " the first choice " of 60% of the uterus skin tumour patients of this institute's now . A 35 -year-old Spanish woman is after receiving treatment, uterus skin tumour that the original diameter is 8 centimetres big disappears, it takes already pregnant 30 weeks at present.
Innovation employs and takes out the clinical evidence first
"The supersound melts technology opens new era of treatment of cancer. " Praised as " Father of peritoneoscope operation " European surgery learn president, British Dundee storehouse knights auspiciouses assorted, Alfred of university if you can't have an optimistic view of rather by supersound, last the development prospects of technology too. He think supersound melt appearance of technology, for the intersection of treatment of cancer and from create to have, create development, open up Luis that hope a little way, but should really realize this goal, " have a quite long distance " .
Storehouse assorted auspicious knight propose supersound melt the intersection of technology and in situ cancer have 20 more than practical experience of year melt, a lot of clinical treatments of future will use this technology, but must launch the essential clinical trial at first, so as to ensure security and therapeutic effect. At present, though this technology has clinical practice history in 10 years in China, but not generally launched in the western countries yet, is only used in the treatment of prostate cancer.
Gatt and Hal thinks, everybody firmly believes the supersound melts technology has good development prospects, but as one new ripe treatment means, this item technological to need, develop and improve also by itself, improving curative effect constantly on the premise of guaranteeing security. For example present therapeutic time mostly take several hours, how to shorten and treat time on the premise of guaranteeing the result, the urgent subject to be solved. And if supersonic wave can pass through natural barriers such as the inner bubble of human body, skeleton,etc., then cranium brain tumour no longer supersound melt in the forbidden zone of the operation.
"What disease suitable for, adopt the intersection of supersound and technology of melting, make more satisfactory therapeutic effect? Is there a healing solution accepted far and wide? Are many great talents suitable on earth at the security border that melts? These problems are all challenges faced in development of future. " Wu Feng Professor, medical university of Chongqing, say, utilize supersound melt technology treat much research of cancer, also at canvassing stage, have not entered clinical practice yet, has lacked the large-scale random controlled study yet at present, " the responsible innovative method of medical science must be based on the experimental evidence, could generalize to clinically " .
It needs prospective test to establish the new standard
ZhiBiao Wang point out various treat way, have their good and bad, supersound melt technology just excision to cancerous swelling, not for the cause of disease, pathology taking place in canceration to block. European sound chemistry is known to the president, Britain Coventry sound chemical centre director James Professor Mason of the university and thought, in future, the intersection of supersound and treat the way, combine to medicine,etc. with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, target technology of melting, improve and consolidate the therapeutic effect to cancer.
Whether the maturity of the new technology needs to collect more data, could make the developing direction more correct or not. The assorted auspicious knight of the storehouse proposes, can design some prospective tests in China where clinical application foundation is better, it is world-wide to expand to on this basis. Cooperate in the group through setting up world, set up research center to realize resource-sharing in all parts of the world, thus melt to supersound the choice of the technological indication, determination of the standard healing solution are offered valuable information.
"No doubt, this new technology has brought the benefit to patient. But this is not enough yet, also need to set up training base and the centre. " The assorted auspicious knight of the storehouse especially proposes, must carry on essential training to the doctor, make it can master skillfully, could guarantee the supersound melts technology gets and further popularizes effectively.
