It is estimated that 65% of solid tumor resections result in residual microscopic tumor cells at the surgical margin, which contributes to LRR and poor survival rates.

Key Points: 
  • It is estimated that 65% of solid tumor resections result in residual microscopic tumor cells at the surgical margin, which contributes to LRR and poor survival rates.
  • The recent trial reveals that treating the surgical margin following a tumorectomy significantly reduced local recurrence and increased overall survival.
  • CHCP opens a new and promising treatment for addressing the challenges of eradicating microscopic residual cancer cells following surgical tumor resection.
  • Jerome Canady, M.D., FACS, CEO stated, “We are very pleased to have our results published in the peer reviewed journal 'Cancers'.

(ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04267575)

Key Points: 
  • (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04267575)
    Cancer remains a significant global health challenge, with over 1.9 million new cases and 608,570 cancer-related fatalities in the United States in 2021.
  • USMI’s Canady Helios Cold Plasma (CHCP) system, a non-thermal (26-30°C) and non-contact Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) jet, offers a promising solution.
  • Twenty patients ranging from 26-85 years of age undergoing surgery for advanced stage 4 or recurrent solid tumors were enrolled.
  • Patients with preoperative treatments such as neoadjuvant chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation, and previous surgery were eligible.

Pancreatic Cancer Cells Harness Normal Tissue Turnover to Build Protective Barriers

Past studies have shown that immune cells called macrophages contribute to a process called desmoplasia, which is caused by the abnormal turnover and excessive deposition of collagen that insulates pancreatic cancers.

Key Points: 
  • Past studies have shown that immune cells called macrophages contribute to a process called desmoplasia, which is caused by the abnormal turnover and excessive deposition of collagen that insulates pancreatic cancers.
  • This, in turn, caused neighboring, supportive stellate cells to build collagen-based meshes around tumors, say the study authors.
  • "Our results revealed how pancreatic tumors program macrophages to contribute to the construction of fibrotic barriers," says first study author Madeleine LaRue, PhD.
  • Pancreatic cancer remains difficult to treat in large part due to the extensive network of fibrotic tissue around tumors.
