Brief Summary
In patients diagnosed with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC)/borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) and planned chemotherapy using FOLFIRINOX, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)/FOLFIRINOX combined treatment is performed on patients who agree to this study. The combined treatment group is treated in parallel with FOLFIRINOX and HIFU for the first four cycles and then CT is taken for reaction evaluation immediately, 2 months, and 4 months after the four-cycle treatment. For the response assessment, the response rate using RECIST ver. 1.1 and operable rate are evaluated and compared with the results of already established FOLFIRINOX single treatment in the investigators' institute. Time-to-progress and overall survival are calculated.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
2-month Tumor Response
Based on CT findings taken immediately after completion of the four-cycle combined treatment (each cycle is 14 days), 2-month tumor response is evaluated with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, Ver 1.1)
immediately after the completion of the four-cycle combined treatment (each cycle is 14 days)
4-month Tumor Response
Based on CT findings taken obtained 4 months after the start of combined treatment, 4-month tumor response is evaluated with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, Ver 1.1)
4 months after the start of combined treatment
6-month Tumor Response
Based on CT findings taken obtained 6 months after the start of combined treatment, 6-month tumor response is evaluated with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, Ver 1.1)
6 months after the start of combined treatment
Percentage of subjects that were subject to surgical resection
When surgery is determined according to American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC), 8 edition guidelines based on computed tomography (CT) images taken 4 months or 6 months after the start of the combined treatment, the percentage of subjects who were able to be operated on compared to the total number of registered subjects is calculated.
4 months or 6 months after the start of the combined treatment
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Time-to-Progression
from the date of diagnosis of pancreatic cancer or from the start date of combined treatment of pancreatic cancer until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 24 month
Survival time
from the date of diagnosis of pancreatic cancer or the start date of combined treatment of pancreatic cancer until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 24 months

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- All of the following selection criteria must be met before participants can be registered for this clinical trial.
- Adults over 19-85
- Persons with a Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) of 70 percent or more;
- A person diagnosed as a tubular adenocarcinoma through biopsy.
- A person diagnosed with LAPC/BRPC by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- A person willing to voluntarily agree to a clinical trial and comply with the test plan
You may not qualify if:
- The presence of a cystic lesion within pancreatic cancer to be treated with HIFU or at the pancreas adjacent to the pancreatic cancer.
- The presence of a wide range of scar or surgical clips observed in the passage through the ultrasonic beam.
- In case proper ultrasound images for HIFU procedures are not shown
- A person who cannot lie down in a comfortable position.
- A person who has difficulty communicating
- A person who has experience in toxic or hypersensitive reactions to FOLFIRINOX anticancer drugs.
- A person pregnant or breastfeeding
- Pancreatic cancer patients who have previously been anti-cancer treatment
- If severe side effects such as aortic rupture, duodenum perforation, gastrointestinal damage or intestinal necrosis are expected due to HIFU procedures.
- Other cases where participation in this clinical trial is judged inappropriate by the investigator (specific reasons should be recorded in the case report form)
