Sound Wave-based Cancer Treatment:
Key takeaways
- The new histotripsy research center marks a new phase in a quarter century of research at U-M—where this noninvasive cancer treatment was invented.
- Histotripsy destroys tumors with sound waves, without incisions or the side effects and recovery times of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
- In an effort to accelerate the technology’s scientific and clinical progress and enable more patients to benefit faster, the histotripsy research center is open to researchers outside the University of Michigan at no cost.
Expanding use of a noninvasive, ultrasound-based cancer treatment is the ultimate goal of the new University of Michigan Histotripsy Center, a first-of-its-kind facility launched today.
