In a groundbreaking breakthrough, doctors in the U.S. have successfully used histotripsy, a new noninvasive treatment that harnesses sound waves and water, to destroy cancer tumors. Chris Donaldson, diagnosed with metastatic ocular melanoma, underwent the procedure at Providence Mission Hospital. Just two months after the treatment, scans showed no trace of cancer—marking a milestone in cancer care.
Histotripsy uses precise ultrasound pulses to mechanically break down tumors without surgery, radiation, or chemo. It's already FDA-approved for liver tumors and is showing promise for treating thyroid and breast cancers as well. For survivors like Chris, who now enjoys precious time with his grandchildren, this innovation is more than medical—it’s life-changing hope.
