Destroying Tumors Without Surgery: How Histotripsy Is Changing Cancer Treatment

What if you could destroy tumors without a single incision? At UM Health-West, in collaboration with the Cancer Network of West Michigan, our team is using histotripsy—high-intensity focused ultrasound—to precisely target and disrupt tumors without harming surrounding tissue. Developed at the University of Michigan, this groundbreaking, non-invasive treatment is changing how we approach cancer, opening the door to new possibilities in immunotherapy and patient care.
