Pop, Crackle, Snap?
That is a cool idea. I understand the concept and how it would work on tumors. In malignancy those cancer cells travel throughout the body and they can “hide” deep in tissue. I wonder how this therapy would capture those cells? Maybe it doesn’t—getting rid of tumors is great.
And just for comparison to chemo…my wife’s chemo was about $50k per round. And she needed 12 rounds. $12k is a bargain.
Praying that treatment comes down in price - but still, pretty cool
Seems the cancer cells breaking off from the original tumor could enter your bloodstream or lymph system and spread to other areas of your body.
My oncological surgeon that did my stomach cancer surgery responded to my question about what made liver and pancreatic surgery so difficult described it as operating on a big stick of softened butter.
Ultrasound has been used for decades to break up kidney stones...this is just a step up. One worry...in animal studies only 80% had full tumor elimination. What happened in the other 20%?
Are the cancer cells really destroyed? Loose cells can settle in for metastasis.
My Gleason 7 prostate cancer (fast-growing, deadly) was “ablated” (burned-up) by high-frequency ultrasound in 2020 in the non-invasive/non-surgical TULSA-Pro procedure and is no more, thank the Lord!
PSA was .655 last month. My 49 yr. old son’s is higher.
Painless, no bad side effects. All systems normal.
It reminds me of the Woody Allen movie called “Sleeper.” The medical devices were used with sound.
