Marshall Health Network First in West Virginia to Offer Histotripsy Treatment for Liver Tumors
Marshall Health Network-Cabell Huntington Hospital is the first hospital in West Virginia to treat liver tumors with the Edison Histotripsy System, giving patients access to an advanced treatment that targets tumors with focused sound waves instead of surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. The Edison Histotripsy System uses image-guided sonic beam therapy to precisely target and liquefy liver tumors while preserving surrounding tissue. Supported by more than two decades of research and clinical trials, this FDA-cleared technology has demonstrated strong safety and effectiveness in treating both primary and metastatic liver tumors, expanding the range of treatment options available to physicians and patients.
