Research Spotlight: Enlisting Focused Ultrasound to Fight Brain Cancer

More than a decade ago, UVA Health pioneered focused ultrasound, which produced immediate, dramatic results for patients with essential tremor.

As researchers investigate more applications for the technology, it continues to gain FDA approval to treat other conditions — Parkinson's, uterine fibroids, liver tumors.

Now, numerous promising clinical trials are underway to explore it's use against a number of cancers. In this video and Q&A, Shayan Moosa, MD, shares how focused ultrasound could offer a new tool against glioblastoma and other brain cancers.
