Background technology
Surgical cavities internal organs primary malignant tumor or primary carcinoma of liver portal vein and inferior caval vein cancer embolus are unable to, is existingThe difficult point and hot spot of modern oncotherapy research field, with whole body chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other appeasing for complicationTreatment is to be unable to the primary treatment regimen of surgery excision tube chamber tumour, but therapeutic effect is extremely limited.Below with several frequently seenTube chamber malignant tumour illustrate the present invention the application prospect and scope of equipment:
The cancer of the esophagus:The cancer of the esophagus is one of lethal cause of disease of major cancers and the eighth-largest most common pernicious swollen in world wideKnurl.Statistics in 2008 shows that annual new cases are 482,300, has 406,800 patients to die of the disease.Operative treatment is early stageThe preferred treatment method of the cancer of the esophagus, 5 years survival rates are 10% to 36%.Most patient has been advanced tumor, only 15-20%Patient can surgery excision.Dysphagia is the cardinal symptom of the cancer of the esophagus, these patients are only capable of receiving palliative treatment.Outer radiotherapy was onceAlleviate cancerous stricture caused by dysphagia main means, but from start treatment to obtain alleviate need compared with long-term therapy treatmentTime, and to life span extension and nonsignificance.The implantation of metallic support can effectively alleviate dysphagia quickly in oesophagusWith quality of making the life better, but tumour stent in recurrence and growth cause once more oesophagus block and dysphagia.
Malignant obstructive jaundice:Malignant obstructive jaundice be upper abdomen is primary or metastatic tumo(u)r is common complication itOne, it is seen that in cholangiocarcinoma, cancer of pancreas, Tumors of Duodenum, stomach cancer, gallbladder cancer, primary carcinoma of liver, portal lymph node metastatic tumor,Diagnosis of hepatic metastases and anastomotic stenosis after surgery etc..Obstructive jaundice can cause liver, kidney, the heart, lung, enteron aisle, immune, blood coagulation etc. almost to containThe infringement of all vitals functions of lid body, and many adverse effects are brought to the postoperative of patient, treatment not in time will jeopardizeThe life of patient.Existing local infiltration when Most patients are made a definite diagnosis, it is impossible to perform the operation, or existing DISTANT METASTASES IN, only 15%-The 20% feasible radical excision of patient.But obstructive jaundice row operative treatment can increase operation risk and it is postoperative simultaneouslySend out disease.The implantation of metallic support can effectively open narrow bile duct quickly, alleviate jaundice, but due to continued tumor growth, oftenObstruction of stent can be caused, cause jaundice to recur, and while stent is put, the growth of tumour is actively controlled, then is to improve to treatThe key of effect.
Stomach cancer:In the whole world, stomach cancer is the 5th Ming , And of cancer pathogenesis and the As the 3rd in Cancer death rate rankingName , Fen Do account for 7% and 9% case number.In 2012, there are 950,000 people morbidity, and 723,000 people is dead.Stomach cancer is most generalProbability all over generation what East Asia and eastern Europe , And and male's morbidity is twice of women.Betide the cancer in gastric antrum pylorus portionIt is swollen that pyloric part can be caused outlet obstructed, seriously affect feed and the nutrition intake of patient.For inoperable patient, radiotherapyLimited with chemotherapeutic efficacy, stenter to implant is the narrow means first led to again, but patient can only feed liquid diet, and stentRestenosis rate is very high.
Colorectal cancer:Colon cancer is the common malignant tumor of digestive tract for betiding colon site, is apt to occur in rectum and secondShape colon intersection, with the ratio between 40~50 years old age group incidence highest, men and women for 2~3:1.In 2012, there are 1,400,000 newlyThe colorectal cancer of diagnosis, and cause 69.4 ten thousand people dead.Early detection can be with surgery excision, but a big chunk patient is sickBecome late period or patient age is larger, concurrent other serious diseases, it is impossible to perform the operation.The palliative treatments such as chemicotherapy are the masters for the treatment ofWant means.Patient for causing intestinal obstruction, colon implanted metal stent can alleviate obstruction, but effect is limited.RectumCancer refers to from dentate line to the cancer between proctosigmoid intersection, is one of most common malignant tumour of alimentary canal.RectumFor cancer because pelvic cavity is goed deep into its position, anatomy relationship is complicated, and operation is not easy thoroughly, and Postoperative recurrent rate is high.Middle and lower rectal carcinoma and anal canalSphincter approaches, and when operation is difficult anus preserving and its function, and preoperative active treatment, which reduces tumour, to be reduced neoplasm staging, carryThe success rate of high tumor resection rate and anus preserving.Middle and lower rectal carcinoma is well suited for controlling in proctoscope direct-view downlink microwave ablationTreat, reduce tumour.
Primary carcinoma of liver inferior caval vein and portal vein tumor thrombus.Hepatocellular carcinoma (hereinafter referred to as liver cancer) is sent out in global malignant tumourSick rate arranges the 6th, and annual new liver cancer case and death have more than 50% generation in China.There is tumour registration ground in ChinaThe latest data in area shows:Onset of liver cancer rate occupies malignant tumour the 4th, and case fatality rate occupies malignant tumour the 3rd.Because early liver cancer facesBed symptom and unobvious, the state of an illness has been progressive stage during 70%~80% patient assessment.At present, the treatment totality prognosis of liver cancer is not stillIt is preferable.Due to the biological characteristics and liver anatomy feature of liver cancer, liver cancer cells easily invade vascular system in liver especiallyPortalsystem, forms portal vein tumor thrombus (portal vein tumor thrombus, PVTT), its incidence of document report is44.2%~62.2%.Once there is PVTT in liver cancer patient, and progression of the disease is rapid, can occur in the short time the inside and outside transfer of liver,Portal hypertension, jaundice, seroperitoneum, Mass median life span are only 2.7 months.PVTT be prognosis in hcc it is main notOne of good factor, occupies important influence in the different clinical staging systems of liver cancer.PVTT invades portal vein scope and is divided into:I type, cancerBolt invades the branch of portal vein of lobe of the liver or hepatic segments;II type, cancer embolus are invaded to left branch of portal vein or right branch;III type, cancer embolus invade toMain portal vein;IV type, cancer embolus are invaded to superior mesenteric vein;Postoperative pathological diagnosis capilary cancer embolus is I0Type.I type cancer embolusFine surgery excision.II type-IV based on non-operative treatment, as portal vein radioactive particle stent, 3 dimensional conformal radiation therapy,Sorafenib treatment, RF ablation, laser ablation and local frost free heat exchanger ablation etc., but therapeutic effect and pay no attention toThink.Primary carcinoma of liver also easily invades inferior caval vein and forms cancer embolus, and cancer embolus obstruction inferior caval vein, causes the organ below obstruction planeExtravasated blood oedema, embolus come off to form most of intrapulmonary transfer and organs transfer, the patient not performed the operation in 1~5 monthIt is dead.For that Operative thrombectomy and there should not be the patient of cavity of resorption vena cava obstruction, led to again with putting radioactive particle vena cave stentVascular treatment is first choice, but more difficult tumor embolus is completely eliminated.
The generally more normal Tissue Blood of tumor tissues supplies more horn of plenty, its temperature capacity is poorer than normal structure, reaches in temperatureTumour cell stops division at 39 DEG C~40 DEG C, DNA of tumor cell can be caused to damage after 41 DEG C~42 DEG C, 45 DEG C~50 DEG C causeThe irreversible damage of tumor tissues, more than the 60 DEG C coagulation necrosis that can cause tumor tissues.It can clinically be used for pipe at presentThe apparatus of intracavitary neoplasm thermal ablation therapy is the Habib Endo HPB bipolar radio frequency conduits of Emcision companies of Britain research and development, itsIt is mainly used for the thermal ablation therapy of bile duct malignant tumour.Its long 1.8m, diameter 8Fr (2.6mm), can be percutaneously through liver approach(percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography, PTC) or through scope approach (endoscopicRetrograde cholangio-pancreatography, ERCP) by 10Fr sheaths by the ring-type of two distance 8mm of catheter tipElectrode is positioned at position where tumour, which can produce the thermal injury zone of length about 25 ± 3mm.This radio frequency ablation catheterSome shortcomings:Cannot monitoring treatment temperature in real time;Two ring electrodes must can be only achieved heat with contact tumor tissue and disappearThe effect melted, ring electrode and normal bile duct tissues contact can cause the non-targeted heating ablation damage of bile duct tissue.
Microwave heat therapeutic/ablation make use of microwave to the fuel factor of biological tissue, pathological tissues is rapidly heated denaturationTo reach therapeutic purposes.The microwave energy that microwave heat therapeutic/ablation is utilized is a kind of high-frequency electromagnetic wave, its frequency betweenBetween 900MHz to 10GH, common frequency is 915MH and two kinds of 2.45GHz.Microwave shrouds the polar molecule in scope, mainTo be the hydrone in tissue, can be with hundred million high speed vibrations of 20-50 per second, molecular friction produces high temperature, and causes local solidificationProperty necrosis, compared to RF ablation, the advantage is that microwave electrodes need not can cause tumor tissues with contact tumor tissueThe rise of interior temperature.Microwave ablation is primarily now used for the treatment of the entity internal organs tumours such as liver cancer, kidney, lung cancer, microwave ablationFor pin in image-guided lower Needle localization in inside tumor, ablation procedure, microwave thermal radiation area produces rapidly 45-100 DEG C of heightTemperature, fast and effeciently can be dehydrated local organization, and tumor tissues produce coagulation necrosis.
There is presently no microwave heat therapeutic/ablation system for treatment tube intracavitary neoplasm.The main problems are as follows:(1) pipe intracavitary neoplasm inhomogeneities in tube wall is grown, and has plenty of eccentricity growth, or only section tubular wall is involved, this is just neededWant microwave ablation electrode to be adjacent to tumour as far as possible, while avoid the damage of normal structure;(2) China scholar once usedThe Habib Endo HPB bipolar radio frequency catheter treatment liver cancer portal vein blood vessel cancer embolus of Emcision companies, but since radio frequency disappearsMelt that electrode is more difficult to be adjacent to tumour, and the damage of normal door vein tube wall, therapeutic effect are dissatisfied, it is therefore desirable to which design is a kind ofThe cancer embolus of Endovascular, can be placed in the range of microwave radiation by unique microwave ablation catheter system, but can keep portal vein orPerson's inferior caval vein it is unobstructed, in order to avoid bring secondary damage to the liver being damaged.(3) treatment temperature should be measurable and controllable, withPrevent the excessive damage for causing normal structure of temperature, this just needs the temperature of the treated tumor tissues of monitoring in time;(4) heat transferEffect is brought rapidly up whole microwave antenna, while microwave antenna also produces ohm heat, duct wall is heated up, high temperature will certainlyConduit system is damaged, while the temperature excessive normal structure that easily leads in non-ablation area is killed, pipe of this point for eccentricity growthIntracavitary neoplasm is significant.According to《People's Republic of China (PRC) pharmaceuticals industry standard microwave heat setting equipment YY 0838-2011》In5.9 require, and the heat setting device and normal structure contact portion temperature for intervening heat setting equipment are no more than 45 DEG C.Therefore, except tumor locus,Tumor free normal structure, the tissue temperature that balloon catheter system intervention path is passed through should not be excessive, in order to avoid cause normalTissue is burnt.
