- Histotripsy for liver cancer: What to know about this novel cancer . . .
Histotripsy is a new technology that was approved in 2023 by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of liver tumors It uses focused ultrasound energy to destroy tumors non-invasively — that is, without making any surgical cuts
- Histotripsy for Liver Tumors - Johns Hopkins Medicine
Histotripsy is an interventional radiology procedure that uses focused ultrasound waves to treat liver tumors, both cancerous and benign The treatment is delivered without needing to cut into the body
- Histotripsy: the first noninvasive, non-ionizing, non-thermal ablation . . .
Histotripsy is the first noninvasive, non-ionizing, and non-thermal ablation technology guided by real-time imaging Using focused ultrasound delivered from outside the body, histotripsy mechanically destroys tissue through cavitation, rendering the target into acellular debris
- Histotripsy - Liver Cancer Ultrasound - UChicago Medicine
Histotripsy is a non-invasive procedure that uses high-intensity sound waves to selectively destroy cancer tissue in the liver The procedure uses a precise machine to generate and target sound waves that create a "bubble cloud," which disrupts and destroys only the cancerous tissue
- Histotripsy Destroys Liver Cancer Without Incisions, Radiation or Needles
What is histotripsy? Histotripsy is a noninvasive, nonionizing and nonthermal procedure Using computed tomography and ultrasound guidance, hyper-focused sound waves are delivered through the body to the liver lesion The sound waves mechanically destroy the tumor while sparing normal tissue
- What Is Histotripsy Tumor Treatment | MyHistotripsy
Histotripsy is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses high-intensity sound waves to destroy liver tumors Unlike other treatment methods, histotripsy does not require your doctor to make cuts or incisions, use needles, or rely on ionizing radiation
