The medical field in Europe witnessed an unprecedented achievement that may change the future of cancer treatment, after British patient Roger Jackson, aged 80, became the first person on the continent to receive treatment based on focused ultrasound to break up… Tumors Without the need for surgery or chemotherapy.
Treating cancer tumors with ultrasound without surgery or chemotherapy for the first time in Europe
According to a number of media reports and medical sources, Jackson underwent an experimental procedure that took less than 30 minutes, and is based on an advanced device that directs high-precision ultrasound waves at the tumor, dismantling it from the inside without surgical opening or chemical intervention.
This non-surgical treatment reduces the length of stay in the hospital and gives the patient a faster recovery thanks to reduced risks and side effects.
Cancer, especially liver cancer, is one of the most aggressive diseases in the world, and is responsible for high death rates annually, and traditional treatments often rely on surgical operations or chemotherapy drugs that affect the entire body.
The new technology targets the tumor only, without harming healthy body tissues, which makes it a promising option for patients with complex cases or those who are difficult to undergo surgery.
How does the technology work?
The treatment method is based on high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).
The waves are sent precisely towards the affected area.
Micro-vibrations cause the cancerous tissue to gradually break down and disintegrate.
This is done without any incision or insertion of tools into the body, which reduces the possibility of bleeding or infection.
Jackson’s case spread quickly through the media and social networking sites, as it is a scientific step that opens the door of hope to thousands of patients, and many expressed their optimism about this technology, especially since it may reduce pain and complications and give patients a better quality of life.
What does this mean for the future?
If the effectiveness of the treatment is confirmed in larger studies, this technology may change the rules of the game in the fight against cancer:
Less medical intervention
Faster recovery
Limited side effects
Possibility of saving lives in cases that cannot tolerate surgery
