Metal Marker Implantation\" to enhance the precision of proton beam therapy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To maximize the effectiveness of proton therapy, it is important to irradiate cancer tissue precisely. In this context, the \"metal marker implantation technique,\" in which a metal marker is implanted in the cancer tissue and irradiated using the marker as a landmark, has been attracting attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three Implantation Methods and EUS-FP<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Percutaneous marker placement: A needle is inserted through the skin to place a marker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Transarterial marker placement: a catheter is inserted through a blood vessel to place a marker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n EUS-FP: Marker placement directly through the gastrointestinal tract using an ultrasound endoscope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n EUS-FP is the newest of these methods and is attracting the most attention, as it uses an ultrasound device attached to the tip of the endoscope to directly observe the pancreas from inside the digestive tract while implanting a marker. Therefore, markers can be implanted more accurately and safely than with other methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Narita Memorial Hospital is one of the leading institutions in Japan for EUS-FP clinical research. Dr. Takahiro Toyama and Dr. Kenji Yamao, consultants at the hospital, are convinced of the effectiveness of EUS-FP based on their many years of experience and achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n High accuracy and safety: EUS-FP is considered more accurate and has a lower risk of complications than other methods because markers are implanted while viewing ultrasound images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Less burden on the patient: EUS-FP uses an endoscope, so the burden on the patient is relatively low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Widespread use in the U.S. and Europe: EUS-FP is already widely used in the U.S. and Europe, and its effectiveness has been recognized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In Japan, EUS-FP is not yet covered by insurance, so not all patients can receive this treatment. However, Narita Memorial Hospital and other medical institutions are working toward insurance coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If EUS-FP is covered by insurance, more pancreatic cancer patients will be able to receive this treatment, which is expected to lead to improved treatment outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n EUS-FP is attracting attention as a new option in pancreatic cancer treatment. With the widespread use of this technology, more patients will be able to benefit from proton beam therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Challenges in Pancreatic Cancer Treatment and Proton Beam Therapy Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor known for its difficulty in early detection and rapid progression.
