And the same technique is being tested on humans in the U.S. and Europe.
The new treatment is called"histrotripsy," and it noninvasively directs ultrasound waves so that the target tissue is mechanically destroyed — and with millimeter precision. This novel technique is presently being deployed in aThis is significant because a great number of clinical situations preclude direct interventions, because of the size of the tumor, its location, or stage.
"Histotripsy is a promising option that can overcome the limitations of currently available ablation modalities and provide safe and effective noninvasive liver tumor ablation," said a doctoral student in UM's biomedical engineering department, Tejaswi Worlikar, in the blog post. "We hope that our learnings from this study will motivate future preclinical and clinical histotripsy investigations toward the ultimate goal of clinical adoption of histotripsy treatment for liver cancer patients," added Worlikar. Liver cancer is one of the top 10 causes of cancer-related deaths throughout the world — one that, even with several treatments on the table, nevertheless is a grim diagnosis to bear, with survival rates holding at less than 18 percent in the United States.
