RESUMEN
Presentamos un caso en el que se revela la importancia que puede tener la utilización de la tecnología PET-FDG en el control del tratamiento del carcinoma pancreático con metástasis hepáticas mediante el HIFU (ultrasonidos enfocados de alta intensidad). Esta novedosa técnica de tratamiento será de gran ayuda a otras técnicas terapéuticas existentes en dicho tipo de patologías. A pesar de ello, nuevos estudios tanto de los resultados de esta técnica como de la utilidad del PET en el seguimiento de sus resultados serán necesarios para tener una mayor fidelidad de los mismos.
ABSTRACT
In our text we show a case that reveal the importance of FDG-PET technology in the treatment control of pancreatic carcinoma with hepatic metastases by means of HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound). This novelty treatment technique will be an important aid to another treatments in being in this kind of pathologies. In spite of this fact, newer studies are needed to check the results of HIFU and the utility of PET in the continuation of HIFU results will be necessary in order to obtain a bigger fidelity in these ones.
