The first participant has been treated in a clinical trial investigating the use of focused ultrasound histotripsy plus immunotherapy to address metastatic or unresectable cancer.
The Foundation is co-funding treatment of the first six participants in the study.
The company’s Edison system will be installed at Hong Kong University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
The devices were purchased with a generous donation from the Li Ka Shing Foundation, a philanthropic organization responsible for more than hk$30 billion in education, medical services, charity, and anti-poverty projects.
