A non invasive machine that liquifies liver tumours is set to come to Europe.
The machine, the Edison Histotripsy System, uses a form ultrasound to create a “bubble cloud” that is designed to mechanically destroy and liquefy targeted cancer liver growths.
These bubble clouds form and collapse in microseconds, creating mechanical forces strong enough to destroy tissue at cellular and sub-cellular levels.
The treatment is completely non-invasive and can be completed in a single therapy session with the ability to treat multiple tumours.
Many patients are able to return some the same day as their procedure.
US medical device company HstoSocnics, based in Michigan, said histotripsy is said to offer a promising alternative to treatments such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, which often have significant side effects.
The machine was cleared for use by the USA’s food and drug administration in October2023 after trials of its effectiveness and safety,
It is now available at 20 sites in the USA.
Now clinical trials have been conducted across sites in Europe including on in Barcelona, Spain.
It has also just got marketing authorisation in the United Kingdom.
OPS: The Edison Histotripsy System causes tiny harmless bubbles in the tumour which liquify the cancer cells. The liquified remains are slowly absorbed back into the liver.

Cabbage and potatoes are not the only vegetables: can these female farmers persuade Mongolia to change its diet?
In a country where nearly a third of under-fives are anaemic, a lack of vegetables has contributed to poor health and high cancer rates. Now, that’s beginning to change as tomatoes, cucumber and celery are cultivated.
The health consequences of Mongolia's national diet and vegetable deprivation are becoming apparent. The country has the highest rate of liver and stomach cancer cases in the world.

Mongolia's ambitious programme to tackle cancer death rates reaches 40% of population
Screening project aims to reduce highest cancer mortality rate in the world, but nomadic way of life means many in rural areas are unaware of services.
An ambitious project in Mongolia to tackle cancer mortality rates has reached 40% of the country’s population, according to the World Health Organisation.
Two years after the screening programme began in the world's worst place for cancer survival almost half its citizens have been tested for a number of non-communicable diseases, particularly cancers.
Erdenekhuu Nansalmaa, director general of Mongolia’s National Cancer Centre, says late diagnosis is behind the country’s high death rates.

Dominic Matteo: 'Basically, I played my whole football career with a brain tumour'
Former Liverpool and Leeds player Dominic Matteo on losing his memory, hitting ‘rock bottom' with a gambling addiction and his road to recovery.
Matteo, 49, is sitting with Jess reflecting on his recovery from November 2019 surgery on a cancerous brain tumour. The day their lives changed forever began relatively calmly. Matteo had experienced a headache here, a bout of sickness there, but it was all easily attributable to other sources.
His GP had referred him for an MRI scan.
Matteo the footballer had had many scans. "Usually, they take a while, but I was in for what felt like a minute," he says. "They must have seen something straight away." He was not allowed to leave hospital that Monday night. By Wednesday, he was in a wheelchair, his vision blurred and his face distorted.
Dominic Matteo photopraphed at his home near Halifax in West Yorkshire. Dominic Matteo is a Scotish former professional footballer who played as a defender and midfielder in a 17-year professional career from 1992 to 2009. Matteo played for Liverpool, Sunderland, Leeds United, Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City. In November 2019, Matteo underwent surgery on a brain tumour, and was declared fully recovered in April the following year.
