Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary purpose of this protocol is to assess the ExAblate 2100 MR guided high intensity focused ultrasound device as an intervention for treatment of advanced stage pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary Objective: The primary endpoints for this study will be 1) feasibility of ablation and 2) safety of ablation.

Secondary Objective: 1.)Pain reduction after ablation. 2.) Evidence of inflammation at ablation site based on histology, or in blood after ablation
