Liver cancer elimination, an exciting new day

The approval of the HistoSonics Edison system for liver cancer recently was surprisingly low key.  This is a quite remarkable advancement in the treatment of liver cancer.  HCC is one of the leading cancers and is increasing very rapidly in our liver community.

The Edison system liquifies tumors using focused ultrasound so no complicated internal therapies or surgeries.  To look at the company information use this link.

This technique is much kinder to the patient than current methods and is also a cheaper therapy than the more complex treatments we use today.  We expect it to become the first choice for future liver cancer therapy.

HistoSonics is a pioneering company in the field of medical technology, focusing on a cutting-edge treatment method known as histotripsy. This innovative technique involves the use of a non-invasive, sonic beam therapy platform, which is specifically designed to target and destroy liver tumors at a sub-cellular level.

The core technology behind HistoSonics' product is a novel form of focused ultrasound. This method utilizes high amplitude, very short pulses to create what is referred to as a “bubble cloud.” This bubble cloud mechanically disrupts and liquefies targeted liver tumors, offering a potentially transformative approach to cancer treatment. The technology is particularly aimed at providing an alternative to traditional surgical methods.

Overall, HistoSonics is at the forefront of developing non-invasive cancer treatment technologies, with a strong focus on clinical validation and patient-centered outcomes. Their work represents a significant step forward in the use of ultrasound technology for medical treatments, particularly in the field of oncology.

Day to day living can be challenging when dealing with a disease.  Many people don't know what services are available to them in their local area. Finding those local resources in their local zip code is often a challenge for patients. We are developing a tool to help with that. Would you take a few minutes and examine our tool for locating local services?  Just click on the link below: enter your local zip-code in the form: explore how the services available to you in your area are shown: and take the short survey. The elements above the zip code function are under development, so don't comment on those just yet.
