Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for treating biological tissue by localized hyperthermia. More specifically, the invention relates to a device for treating a tumor and obtaining its alteration by the application of radiofrequency waves.
- the treatment of malignant tumors is generally carried out by surgery (resection), by the administration of global deleterious chemical agents (chemotherapy) and / or local (injection of ethanol for example), or even by destruction using means physical characteristics of the tumor. Destruction using physical means consists in subjecting the cancerous area to radiation (radiotherapy) or heating (thermotherapy) intended to irreversibly alter the metabolism of cancer cells.
- Localized hyperthermia therapy techniques offer many advantages. In particular, they are less traumatic for the patient and seem to have an effectiveness comparable to surgical procedures.
- Hyperthermia localized by RF is generally implemented by the application of an alternating voltage between an electrode implanted in the tissue near the target region and an external return electrode in the form of a dissipative plate of large surface positioned on the skin. The currents produced in the tissue induce a rise in lethal temperature for the cancer cells located near the electrode implanted in the tissue.
- the main limitation of the effectiveness of treatment is due to the maximum volume that can be treated.
- Different technical solutions have been proposed to increase this volume: -
- the cooling of the electrodes (as proposed in particular in documents WO02 / 056782 and US 6,059,780).
- This technique makes it possible to cool the surface of the electrode implanted in the tissue and to avoid drying of the tissues in immediate contact with the electrode.
- the drying induces a significant increase in the impedance of the tissue, which decreases the intensity of the current produced. It follows that the energy deposition in the tissues is much lower and the effectiveness of the treatment affected.
- the use of needle cooling therefore avoids this drying effect and promotes the deposition of energy.
- a radiofrequency generator supplies a rotary element which successively distributes the current to each element of the needle in a cyclic manner.
- the effectiveness of the treatment is not optimal, since each element is activated sequentially.
- the advantage of such a device is to have 2 active electrodes fairly close to each other, which allows the current to be concentrated between the two electrodes and reduces the electrical power necessary to induce a current large enough to produce a lethal temperature rise.
- these different approaches do not allow the shape and dimensions of the lesion created to be modulated, and it is sometimes necessary to reposition the needles to perform an additional ablation partially covering that of the first impact, in order to obtain complete destruction of the tumor.
- the invention provides a device for treating a volume of biological tissue by localized hyperthermia, including a plurality of active percutaneous electrodes, at least one return electrode, and a high frequency electric generator capable of applying a voltage.
- the generator is able to supply each active electrode independently of the others, so that the parameters of the voltage applied by each active electrode can be adjusted independently .
- the expression “percutaneous” means that the active electrodes are capable of being introduced deep into the tissue to be treated. They therefore require tissue break-in when they are placed within the tissue.
- the active electrodes can be supplied independently so that it is possible to control the local distribution of the current within the target volume by the device, so that the dimensions and shape of the lesion created can be adjusted.
- the amplitude and the phase shift of the voltages applied to the electrodes can be chosen to generate currents between the active electrodes and thus, from a limited number of electrodes, obtain uniform coverage of the area to be treated.
- the device of the invention it is therefore possible to treat tumors of large volume with a limited number of active electrodes.
- the choice of amplitudes and phase shifts of the voltages applied to the active electrodes allows flexibility of the treatment.
- the device offers practitioners the possibility of carrying out an energy deposition, the localization of which in the volume can be adjusted or modified without necessarily having to resort to multiple repositioning of electrodes, thus limiting tissue break-ins (reduction in the risks of dissemination of tumor cells).
- the treatment device comprises a plurality of active electrodes arranged in a cylinder around a return electrode.
- the proposed cylindrical configuration makes it possible to reduce the impedance between the electrodes compared to the devices currently used in which the return electrode is at a distance from the target region (large surface skin electrode). Therefore, the voltage (s) to be applied to generate sufficient current between the electrodes 72824
- the central return electrode makes it possible to increase the spatial density of the electric current inside the volume defined by the active electrodes (centripetal propagation) and to increase the temperature selectively in the target region.
- the return electrode external to the treated region promotes the centrifugal propagation of the current towards the outside of the same volume, which makes it possible to increase the treated volume.
- the use of this external electrode therefore makes it possible to treat the peripheral zone of the target region, which is a critical factor in obtaining a sufficient safety margin to ensure effective treatment.
- These two return electrodes can be connected simultaneously (centrifugal and centripetal propagation simultaneously) or alternatively. When they are connected simultaneously, the thermal power deposited is dissipated over a larger volume than if they are connected alternately. The simultaneous connection increases the duration of application of radio frequencies with identical deposited power. A compromise can be chosen by the operator or the algorithm managing the generation of the signals, depending on the volume of the region to be treated.
- the invention is suitable for implementing a method for treating a volume of biological tissue by localized hyperthermia, comprising the steps consisting in: - disposing a plurality of active percutaneous electrodes and at least one electrode for returning to the within the tissue to be treated, - applying an alternating voltage between the active electrodes and the return electrode by means of a high frequency electric generator, characterized in that, each active electrode being supplied independently of the others, the method comprises also the step of adjusting the parameters of the voltage applied to each active electrode.
- the step consisting in adjusting the parameters of the voltage applied to each active electrode comprises the determination and adjustment of the amplitudes V t and / or of the phases ⁇ , of the voltages applied to the electrodes.
- the determination of the phases ⁇ , of the voltages applied to the electrodes is carried out according to the steps consisting in: - defining, for two electrodes i and j, values of the amplitudes V t and V j of the voltages which are respectively applied to them and a desired potential difference ⁇ between the electrodes i and j, - deduce a phase shift ⁇ ii between the voltages applied to the electrodes i and j according to the following law:

- - Figures 7A, 7B and 7C schematically represent the spatial energy distributions for a device comprising respectively 3
- the processing device comprises a multi-channel generator 100 comprising means for generating multi-channel sinusoidal voltages 20 controllable in amplitude and in phase shift and means 30 for amplifying the voltages thus generated.
- the generator also includes means 40 for measuring the electrical characteristics of each channel (voltage and current supplied), control means 50 for depending on the measured electrical characteristics to control the voltage generation means 20 to adjust the power supplied by each channel.
- the treatment device further comprises a plurality of active transcutaneous electrodes 1 to 8 implanted in a target area 70 of biological tissue to be treated and transcutaneous return electrodes 110 and 120 also implanted near the target area 70. Each active electrode 1 to 8 is connected to one of the channels of the multi-channel generator 100 and is supplied with voltage independently of the other electrodes.
- the return electrodes 110 and 120 are connected to the reference channel (floating mass) of the generator 100.
- a set of switches 60 makes it possible to connect or disconnect each of the electrodes 1 to 8, 110 and 120 independently of each other.
- the switches can be controlled manually and / or automatically (for example by an electromechanical relay system).
- the processing device of FIG. 1 constitutes a multipolar processing device insofar as the electrodes are controlled simultaneously and independently of each other.
- Figures 2 and 3 schematically represent two possible modes of implementation of the invention. According to the mode of implementation represented in FIG. 2, the active electrodes 1 to 8 and one of the return electrodes 120 are implanted separately in the volume 70 of tissue to be treated. The implantation of each electrode requires an incision and the electrodes can be placed in relation to each other in a multitude of configurations.
- the other return electrode is in the form of a dissipative plate placed on the surface of the tissue to be treated.
- the active electrodes 1 to 8 and one of the return electrodes 120 are implanted by means of a needle 200 from which the electrodes are deployed.
- the other return electrode 110 is in the form of a dissipative plate placed on the surface of the tissue to be treated.
- the processing device comprises a multi-channel generator 100, two channels of which are connected to two active percutaneous electrodes 1 and 2 and the reference channel is connected to a percutaneous return electrode 120.
- the three electrodes 1, 2 and 120 are implanted in the volume of tissue 70 to be treated in an equilateral triangle configuration.
- the active electrodes 1 and 2 are supplied by the generator 100 with respective voltages of amplitude Vi and V 2 and phase shifts ⁇ i and ⁇ 2 .
- r 1 (t) r sin ( ⁇ t + ⁇ 1 )
- V 2 (t) V 2 - sin ( ⁇ t + ⁇ 2 )
- V o (t) V Q
- the device of FIG. 5 is particularly simple and inexpensive, it uses only two active electrodes 1 and 2 as well as a generator with two supply paths.
- the treatment device comprises a plurality of percutaneous active electrodes 1 to N distributed in a cylinder and regularly spaced, and a percutaneous return electrode 120 disposed in the center of the cylinder.
- the treatment device comprises a plurality of percutaneous active electrodes 1 to N distributed in a cylinder and regularly spaced, and a percutaneous return electrode 120 disposed in the center of the cylinder.
- there are six active percutaneous electrodes (N 6), so that the distance between two successive active electrodes is equal to the distance between an active electrode and the central return electrode.
- the use of a symmetrical geometric arrangement around the return electrode 120 makes it possible to promote the obtaining of a uniform distribution of the temperature in the target region while using a limited number of electrodes. It follows that if we consider that the electrical characteristics of the tissue are homogeneous throughout the target region 70, the impedances between each electrode 1 to N and the return electrode 120 will be substantially equal.
- each active electrode 1 to N generates a similar current between each active electrode and the central return electrode 120.
- Another advantage of this cylindrical arrangement is to reduce the impedance between the electrodes compared to systems currently used in which the return electrode is remote from the target region (large area plate). The energy deposition is therefore confined within the target region.
- the voltage (s) to be applied to generate a sufficient current between the electrodes is (are) therefore less important than in the conventional configuration, which reduces the electrical power required, as well as the risks of tissue destruction surrounding the target or burn region in contact with the skin dissipative electrode.
- FIG. 8 is a table illustrating different spatial distributions of energy deposition which can be obtained by adjusting the phase shift of the voltages between electrodes for a device comprising 5 active electrodes (configurations C and D) and a device comprising 6 active electrodes (configurations E and F) distributed evenly according to a cylinder centered on the return electrode.
- column (a) indicates the configuration considered
- column (b) indicates the phase shift of the voltage applied to each electrode i
- column (c) represents the spatial distribution of the current generated between the electrodes
- the column ( d) represents the distribution of the heating obtained.
- the five active electrodes are supplied with voltages having identical amplitudes and phase shifts.
- the currents generated in the tissue to be treated are located between each active electrode and the return electrode. It follows that the spatial distribution of energy deposited in the tissue generally has the shape of a five-pointed star centered on the return electrode and each branch of which extends towards one of the active electrodes.
- configuration D the five active electrodes are supplied with voltages having identical amplitudes.
- Three of the active electrodes are supplied with voltages having zero phase shifts and the other two are supplied with voltages having phase shifts of ⁇ / ⁇ .
- the currents generated in the tissue to be treated are located between each active electrode and the return electrode on the one hand, and between the successive active electrodes, except the successive active electrodes which are supplied with voltages have zero phase shifts. It follows that the spatial distribution of energy deposited in the tissue generally has the shape of an incomplete pentagon.
- the six active electrodes are supplied with voltages having identical amplitudes and phase shifts.
- the currents generated in the tissue to be treated are located between each active electrode and the return electrode.
- the spatial distribution of energy deposited in the tissue generally has the shape of a six-pointed star centered on the return electrode and each branch of which extends towards one of the active electrodes.
- the six active electrodes are supplied with voltages having identical amplitudes.
- the electrodes are supplied with voltages having alternately zero phase shifts and y phase shifts. .
- the currents generated in the tissue to be treated are located between each active electrode and the return electrode on the one hand, and between the successive active electrodes.
- the spatial distribution of energy deposited in the tissue generally has the shape of a hexagon. This configuration favors a high spatial density of current in the inter-electrode space. The even number of electrodes makes it possible to apply identical phase shifts between two successive active electrodes.
- FIG. 9 is a table illustrating different spatial distributions of energy deposition which can be obtained by adjusting the phase shift of the voltages between electrodes for a device comprising six electrodes.
- the six electrodes are arranged in a cylinder centered on a return electrode and possibly an additional return electrode in the form of a skin conductive plate.
- the electrodes 1 to 6 are supplied with voltages having identical amplitudes.
- Column (b) indicates the phase shift of the voltage applied to each electrode i
- column (c) represents the spatial distribution of the current generated between the electrodes
- column (d) represents the distribution of heating
- column (e) represents the form of necrosis obtained.
- configuration F successive phase shifts 0, ⁇ ⁇
- the shape of the necrosis obtained is more circular (ideal case) than with configuration E.
- This configuration can be obtained with a generator with two supply channels by connecting three active electrodes on each generator channel.
- the applied voltages can be out of phase with each other by * . It then suffices to connect the odd active electrodes (1, 3 and 5) to one of the channels and the even active electrodes (2, 4 and 6) to the other channel.
- the temperature distribution is identical to that of configuration F, but is more extended towards the outside of the cylinder formed by the active electrodes .
- This configuration increases the external volume of the treated area and generates a safety margin.
- the device of the invention allows to generate from a given number of electrodes organized according to a certain configuration, a multiplicity of forms of necrosis. Depending on the shape of the tumor and the characteristics of the tissue, it is possible to perform an ablation by applying a sequence of successive configurations. The combination of configurations allows the shape of the necrosis generated to be more precisely modulated.
- the number of active electrodes can also be changed by connecting or disconnecting some of these electrodes.
- the difference in potentials V can be adjusted between 0 and 2V t , as a function of the phase difference. It is thus possible to promote the local deposition of energy between these two electrodes, since the voltage V y can be up to twice greater than the voltage between each active electrode and the return electrode (V t , V j ). If the phase shift is equal to 0 (conventional devices with a single supply channel), the potential differences between all the active electrodes are zero, whatever the voltages V l e ⁇ V j .
- Equation [3] makes it possible to predict what is the potential difference between the electrodes i and j, from the amplitudes and phases of the potentials which are applied to them. By rewriting equation [3], it is possible to determine the phase difference which makes it possible to obtain a desired potential difference ⁇ between the electrodes i and j:
- This formula is applicable regardless of the number of electrodes, so as to determine the phase shifts making it possible to obtain the desired potential differences between the different electrodes.
- This choice of amplitude and phase, associated with the independent electrodes makes it possible to ensure greater flexibility of the treatment, because it offers the practitioner the possibility of carrying out an energy deposition whose location in space can be adjusted. without repositioning the electrodes.
- N amplitudes and N phases which leads to 2N adjustable values. This number of adjustable parameters therefore offers great flexibility in comparison with generator systems having a single channel. It should be noted that for a system having N independent active electrodes and a return electrode, the total number of inter electrode voltages is equal to ⁇ . Table 1 lists the variables and voltages according to the number of active electrodes.
- the system is mathematically oversized, since there are more variables than voltages.
- the system is correctly dimensioned since there are as many variables as voltages.
- the number of voltages is greater than the number of adjustable variables and it it is therefore necessary to make compromises in the choice of electrodes on which the voltages will be adjusted. With an equal potential difference, the local current distribution is all the greater the smaller the inter-electrode distance. Consequently, one solution consists in restricting the choice of the voltages to be adjusted to the electrodes closest to a determined active electrode.
- One solution consists in alternating the phase between ⁇ and 0 in the order of arrangement of the electrodes, so that:
- the first and the last phase shift are necessarily identical (and equal to 0) and the alternation condition is not respected.
- the only solution to obtain an identical phase shift between two successive electrodes is to impose a total phase shift of 2 ⁇ on all of the electrodes.
- Another possibility offered by the application of radio frequencies using a multipolar device of the invention is to be able to disconnect one or more electrode (s) from the electrical network during treatment. This can be done using manual switches or electronically controlled by a relay system.
- the advantage of this device is to make an electrode inactive by opening the circuit which connects it to the return electrode or to a channel of the multi-channel generator.
- the advantage is not to induce a rise in temperature near this electrode, in the case for example where it would be located near a "sensitive" region.
- Means for controlling the local energy deposition available on clinical equipment and based on the measurement of impedance between the electrodes or on a local measurement of the temperature using implanted probes (thermocouples) can also be integrated into the device proposed by the present invention.
- the device of the invention may comprise means for measuring impedance between electrodes and / or for measuring local temperature and means for controlling the voltages applied by the generator to the electrodes in function of the impedance and / or temperature measurements carried out continuously during the application of the radio frequency.
