SUMMARY: More than 40,000 people will be diagnosed with liver cancer this year, which is a leading cause of cancer deaths globally. Traditional treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, but new technology called histotripsy is emerging. This innovative technique employs high-powered ultrasound beams to liquefy liver tumors without surgery, focusing on targets as small as a BB. Surgeon Eric Lou at MD Anderson, one of the few Texas centers offering this treatment, explains it causes minimal damage to surrounding tissue. Histotripsy is non-invasive and can be repeated as needed, with hopes of future applications for other tumor types.

More than 40,000 people will hear the words “you have liver cancer” as it’s considered the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. However, doctors have developed a new tool to fight it that won’t involve surgery!

SUMMARY: The race for Harris County’s next district attorney between Sha Tier and Dan Simons remains unexpectedly close, with only about a 1% difference. Many at Tier’s party headquarters left early due to the prolonged uncertainty, as they anticipated a quicker outcome. Tier expressed surprise at how late the night has gone but remains hopeful that his lead will grow as more precincts report in. In contrast, Simons remains optimistic about his chances. Experts attribute the tight race to strong Law and Order sentiments among voters, impacting Democrats tied to the campaign negatively.
