Can kidney tumours be treated without needles, incisions, or radiation?
In this EMUC TV interview, our UROONCO RCC associate editor Assoc. Prof. Carlotta Palumbo speaks with Prof. Tze Min Wah about histotripsy, an emerging non-invasive ultrasound-based technology that mechanically destroys tumour tissue through focused acoustic energy. Drawing on early clinical experience from the first kidney cancer studies, they discusse patient selection, procedural considerations, safety outcomes, and the potential advantages of histotripsy over existing ablative techniques. The conversation also explores the future development of this novel approach and its potential role in expanding treatment options for patients with renal tumours.
