Abstract

Aim. The define possibility of minimally invasive and non-invasive techniques in treatment of patients with unresectable pancreatic tumors.
Materials and Methods. We have analyzed 18 ablations in 16 patients. There were 11 (69%) women and 5 (31%) men. Average size of tumor was 3.5±1.5 cm. In 50% of cases unresectable pancreatic tumor was complicated by obstructive jaundice. All patients had pain syndrome. 
Results. The pain decreased or disappeared in 72% of patients after operation. Decrease of tumor's size was confirmed in all cases. Pain syndrome disappeared in 7 of 11 patients and body mass increased during 48 months of follow-up.
Conclusion. Combined staged minimally invasive techniques including external bile ducts drainage, common bile duct stenting and non-invasive HIFU-ablation enhances complex treatment of patients with unresectable pancreatic tumors. It is accompanied by favorable prognosis and improves the quality of life
