Brief Summary:
The goal of this project is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of ExAblate magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) surgery in the treatment of soft tissue tumors of the extremities.
Detailed Description:
Given that the incidence of cancer increases with age, the number of elderly patients diagnosed and treated for soft tissue sarcomas (STS) will increase. The dilemma is that surgeons and medical oncologists may be hesitant to treat elderly patients in a comparably intensive manner as is used in the treatment of younger patients; factors such as decreased performance status, significant comorbidities, and disease natural history may erode enthusiasm for aggressive STS resection. To this end, a less invasive way of treating soft tissue tumors would be helpful in younger patients to minimize morbidity and in the elderly to provide less aggressive treatment options. The InSightec ExAblate 2000 magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) system is a non-invasive thermal ablation device fully integrated with an MR imaging system and used for the ablation of soft tissue (5-10). The ExAblate combines a focused ultrasound surgery (FUS) delivery system and a conventional diagnostic 1.5 T or 3 T MRI scanner. It provides a real-time therapy planning algorithm, thermal dosimetry, and closed-loop therapy control.
