At a recent public lecture, Dr. Clifford Cho gave attendees a look at an emerging technology called histotripsy, which uses highly focused soundwaves to mechanically destroy tumors.

Cho uses histotripsy to treat liver cancer in his clinical practice at University of Michigan Health-West, where he is chief medical officer. He also leads a research lab at Van Andel Institute, where he and his team study the biological aspects of histotripsy to better understand its full potential.
