InactiveUS20090117052A1Increase energy depositionImprove efficiencyUltrasonic/sonic/infrasonic diagnosticsCosmetic preparationsHepatic tumorMedicine
The present invention discloses an enhancement agent for high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment, which is administered to a patient before HIFU treatment and can reduce the level of EEF at the target location to be treated with HIFU. EEF is presented by the expression: EEF=ηPt / V (unit: J / mm3), and refers to the HIFU energy needed to effectively treat a tumor per unit volume of the tumor, wherein, η=0.7; P refers to the total acoustic power of HIFU source (unit: W); t refers to the total time of HIFU treatment (unit: s); V refers to the volume of HIFU-induced lesions (unit: mm3). If the amount of EEF at the target location before administration of the enhancement agent is defined as EEF(base) and the amount of EEF at the target location after administration of the enhancement agent is defined as EEF(measurement), the ratio between EEF(base) and EEF(measurement) is more than 1, preferably more than 2, and more preferably over 4. The use of the enhancement agent for HIFU treatment of the present invention makes it possible to treat deep-seated tumors. In addition, patients with hepatic tumors can be effectively treated without removal of ribs.

Precision medical methods for cancer immunotherapy

Cancer immunotherapy has obtained a huge clinical success, and even the most difficult-to-treat cancer also has a relatively long lifetime. However, this effect is observed only in a small number of persons and no biomarkers of this reaction. The methods described herein use two independent systemic chronic inflammation metrics (inflammation age-iAge-and cytokine response score-CRS) to stratify cancer patients into responders and non-responders to cancer immunotherapy, thereby improving the outcome of cancer immunotherapy. The iAge personalized immunoproteomic markers / features create an individualized initial therapy to reduce the iAge and convert unresponsive patients to reactants prior to treatment. By treating a patient to reduce its iAge and improve its CRS, unresponsive persons can be converted into reactants.
