Northwell Health received a gift from trustee Roy J. Zuckerberg to create the R.J. Zuckerberg Cancer Hospital at Long Island Jewish Medical Center—the first cancer hospital and cancer campus on Long Island.
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.
