The Foundation and UVA Health have launched the Focused Ultrasound Cancer Immunotherapy Center, the world's first center dedicated to advancing a focused ultrasound and cancer immunotherapy treatment approach.
A central goal of the center is to better understand focused ultrasound's ability to improve a patient's immune response to cancer.
Three groundbreaking trials are already underway at UVA exploring focused ultrasound's impact on the immune response of patients with breast cancers and solid tumors.
Age Wave Founder and CEO, Ken Dychtwald, PhD, addressed rising longevity and the important role that disruptive medical technology plays to the aging population and beyond.
Foundation chairman, former neurosurgeon, and University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine alumnus, Neal F. Kassell, MD, is featured in The Pennsylvania Gazette.
He discusses his early fascination with science and technology and the “aha! moment” when he realized the vast potential of focused ultrasound.
The Foundation welcomes organizations in the therapeutic ultrasound industry or related fields to support the Symposium.
The Prospectus outlines a variety of sponsor and exhibitor packages, as well as many advertising opportunities to increase your company’s visibility at the meeting.
A research team led by Zhen Xu, PhD, recently published preclinical work investigating whether partial histotripsy ablation could result in complete tumor regression in a model of liver cancer.
The group also evaluated survival, immune response, and risk of metastases.
Histotripsy significantly improved survival and increased immune infiltration of the treated and untreated tumors.
