Marking a new era of non-invasive medical interventions, the Northwell Health Cancer Institute is investing $1.2 million in the development of cutting-edge histotripsy technology to treat some liver cancer tumors without surgery. This innovative approach uses targeted ultrasound beams to create microbubbles within tumors, effectively disrupting and destroying diseased cells without the need for incisions.
A group of investigators led by Cedars-Sinai have developed and successfully tested a new artificial intelligence method to make launching cancer clinical trials easier and faster. The method uses patients’ pathology reports to automate the classification of patients by the severity of their cancers, potentially shortening the process of selecting candidates for clinical trials.
