🚨BREAKING: A revolutionary new cancer treatment called Histotripsy is showing incredible promise by literally liquefying tumors using focused sound waves—no surgery, no chemo, and no radiation needed.
Developed by pioneers Dr. Zhen Xu and the late Dr. Charles Cain at the University of Michigan, this FDA-approved technology is now being used at leading hospitals like Johns Hopkins and the Cleveland Clinic.
How it works:
- A robotic arm delivers precise high-intensity ultrasound waves straight to the tumor.
- These waves create tiny gas bubbles inside cancer cells that rapidly expand and collapse.
- The mechanical force destroys the tumor cells, turning the mass into liquid debris that the body naturally clears away.
- It also appears to stimulate the immune system to better recognize and attack remaining cancer cells.
- Because it relies on mechanical disruption rather than heat or radiation, it spares healthy surrounding tissue.
Patients often undergo the quick outpatient procedure and go home the same day. It is currently treating liver tumors, with trials expanding to kidney and brain cancers.
This could be a game-changer in the fight against cancer.
Community note
Histotripsy received FDA clearance in October 2023 for noninvasive destruction of liver tumors and has been used at centers including Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins since. Kidney applications are in clinical trials; brain uses remain preclinical research.

This is what happens when you pay all that $ for someone who doesn’t wanna be there. It used to mean something to dawn that purple and gold. Why do you think we all stayed after the 2021 season? Either you love UW or you don’t. If not, the gtfo 🤷🏽♂️ Go Huskies baby

The NBA continues to be pulled in different directions, prolonging the process for domestic expansion and a potential Sonics return. Here's where things stand during this week's Board of Governors meetings.
