From Lab to $2.25 Billion: Ultrasound Zaps Cancer Without a Knife
Biomedical engineer Zhen Xu spent 25 years developing a noninvasive ultrasound technique to destroy tumors, unlocking breakthrough potential in cancer treatment. The method uses focused ultrasound energy to obliterate malignant tumors without surgery, reducing harm to healthy tissue. Valued at $2.25 billion, the technology has been commercialized by startup HistoSonics and could revolutionize cancer care.
