The Impact of Histotripsy Technique in Tumor Ablation - a Systematic Review
Keywords:
Histotripsy, Tumor ablation, Immune system activation, Preclinical models, Adverse eventsAbstract
According to a study conducted in the U.S., cancer affects more than 700,000 individuals worldwide each year, with 35,660 new cases diagnosed in the U.S. in 2015 alone. However, there are only a few standard treatment choices, which include radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery. This systematic review report on the impact of histotripsy in tumor ablation. In this paper, the effectiveness, safety and advantages of histotripsy compared to other methods are explored. A search was done on ScienceDirect, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases for articles published from the date of inception of the databases to 21st March 2023. Reference lists of identified studies were also screened. Non-duplicate articles were identified, and 12 articles were included for thematic analysis. During the analysis, different effects of histotripsy were categorized. This categorization led to the realization of the effectiveness, immunological effects, safety and advantages of histotripsy compared to the therapeutic options. Histotripsy is effective and safe treatment for various types of cancer, including cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, osteosarcoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
