A new revolutionary Ultrasonic treatment is gaining momentum for Tumor, Breast, Kidney, Bone and Liver Cancers. Known as HIFU, the new treatment has proven to leave patients unscathed.
Developed at Coventry University Sonochemistry dept. and Chongqing Medical University, China, researchers conducted trials at Churchill Hospital, Oxford, with procedures now a reality, proving that focused ultrasound can be used to treat specific tumors.
With UK. research teams concentrating on kidney and liver tumors, US. teams at Harvard and Brigham Woman's hospital, under control of Drs. Peter Black and Ferenc Oesz, have been working on GBM tumors.
Professor Tim Mason, a 25yr-Sonochemistry research veteran, explained the key to this new ultrasonic cancer treatment was the ability to focus low energy ultrasound beams to a small, high energy target on a tumor inside the body.
Report from patients show no side-effects or markings on the patient, and follow-up scans show tumors to be dead or beginning to shrink.
Chinese researchers also report success with HIFU treatments on bone and breast cancers.
