Ultrasound Breakthrough: A New Era for Cancer Treatment? The medical world has long sought a game changer in cancer treatment, and it appears that one may finally have been found.
Biomedical engineer Zhen Xu's non invasive ultrasound technique, histotripsy, targets and liquefies tumor cells while leaving surrounding tissue intact, destroying them without the need for scalpels or invasive procedures.
Histotripsy has already shown impressive results: FDA approved for liver cancer and expanding to kidney tumors, it has the potential to revolutionize the way we treat cancer.
