Medical advancements at Santa Maria Hospital

Overview

Santa Maria Hospital in Terni has introduced new advanced medical treatments and therapeutic pathways.

In August 2026, the hospital implemented a multidisciplinary clinical pathway for oncohematology patients using bispecific antibody immunotherapy to target tumor cells in certain blood cancers. This approach integrates departments such as Oncohematology, Internal Medicine, Hospital Pharmacy, and Anesthesia and Resuscitation.

By September 2026, the facility expanded its technological capabilities by adopting High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) thermoablation. This non-invasive procedure, performed by the Pain Medicine unit, is used to treat chronic lower back pain caused by lumbar facet syndrome by using focused ultrasound beams to deactivate pain-transmitting nerve structures.
