Histotripsy: Non-invasive tumor removal
Summary: Histotripsy is an innovative, non-invasive therapeutic technique that employs focused ultrasound waves to mechanically disintegrate cancerous tumors without the use of heat or ionizing radiation.
Independent critique: Dr. Sevinur Akdas [PhD] Turkey. While histotripsy’s full potential is still being explored, early findings are promising. With minimal side effects, a high success rate in trials, and the ability to treat tumors in difficult locations, histotripsy could be a new hope for those seeking a non-invasive approach to cancer treatment. It is a bright spot in the landscape of cancer treatment, and a reminder that technology has the potential to bring about remarkable changes in medicine.
Availability: Histotripsy in not available in Australia. The Australian Department of Health and Federal Government are being lobbied at present to accept histotripsy into Australia. I’ve attached a link to an online petition that is capturing signature in support of this new non-invasive treatment of cancer tumors. https://chng.it/tK6Gjm2tjz If you are interested, please consider all the relevant information before making your decision.
