herbal medicine schools- surgery to treat and melt cancer tumours, technology cancer research treatment : Cancer Research Technology (CRT) has launched a spin-out company that will develop a next-generation of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) surgery to treat – and melt – cancer tumours.
Acublate Limited will use an advanced version of HIFU, a highly precise and non-invasive type of surgery, which uses ultrasound energy to heat and destroy cancer tumours, while leaving the surrounding healthy tissue intact.
The Acublate HIFU device works with immediate effect and has the potential to reduce side effects compared with current alternative treatments.
The treatment, funded by Cancer Research UK, Imperial Innovations and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, will use an advanced proprietary phased-array system, which means it targets multiple points in the tumour at once. It will be steered rapidly in 3D so that it targets and destroys the tumours as quickly as possible.
It is predicted that the device will significantly reduce existing HIFU treatment times and become a more effective and cheaper alternative than what’s already available. read more...
