A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Lyon in France explored the impact of ultrasonic inertial cavitation (IC) on the stiffness of pancreatic tumors in mice. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a rapidly growing cancer and is expected to become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide by 2030. The study used orthotopic murine models of pancreatic cancer and found that IC treatment resulted in a 24% decrease in tumor stiffness. The researchers also visualized the collagen network within the tumor and correlated its features with the measured elasticity. This research provides insights into a potential therapeutic strategy for treating unresectable tumors. [Extracted from the article] |
