My procedure was done "off label", in other words, not covered by insurance. Histotripsy for the pancreas is in a clinical trial in Barcelona, but it's a procedure that can be performed, just needs a surgeon trained in the procedure and with access to the equipment. My surgical oncologist is Dr. Mark Bloomston, with Lee Health, 239-343-7400. He's in Ft. Myers, FL. By his estimate, the tumor was shrunk by about 50%, and it's possible that what's left is dead.
The procedure took a little over an hour in the operating room. My tumor was large, 6.9 x 4.8 x 4.2 cm. Doc had to reposition the device for three separate applications; normally, it's only a single set up and the time in the operating room is closer to 45 minutes. Hardest part was the prep, much like prepping for a colonoscopy.
Hope this answers your questions.
