Great insights from @HopSTranCao on histotripsy & its use of ultrasound energy to destroy liver tumors non-invasively. These types of technologies are expanding our options to treat more patients & ultimately #EndCancer

Histotripsy is a new cancer treatment for tumors of the liver. But is it only for liver cancer? Who’s a good candidate for it? Surgical oncologist Hop Tran Cao, M.D., shares his insights.

Great to see how cutting-edge treatments like #HIFU therapy can benefit our prostate cancer patients and give them options in addition to radiation therapy or surgery. https://t.co/Q07IS4wLlt

After local doctors told Howard Walton his prostate cancer could be treated with radiation therapy or surgery, he came to MD Anderson, where he underwent high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).
