UK hospital uses ultrasound to destroy liver cancer

The first UK patient received a new ultrasound treatment to destroy liver cancer at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. This non-invasive procedure, called histotripsy, uses focused ultrasound waves to break down cancerous tissue, offering a faster alternative to surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. The technology, developed in the US, has been fast-tracked for use in Great Britain and is being explored for other cancer types.
