Abstract:

Starting in 1997, our center began to apply HIFU in clinical treatment to patients with malignant solid tumor, such as breast cancer, hepatic carcinoma, and bone sarcoma, etc. During three years of study, we have observed satisfactory results from more than 400 cases, including some patients with bone sarcomas. A brief description of our treatment methodology will be reviewed as well as a few individual cases.
