What if a cancerous tumour could be destroyed without a single incision, stitch or scar?

A Singapore grandfather waiting for a liver transplant has become one of the first patients in Southeast Asia to undergo a breakthrough treatment called histotripsy - a technology that uses focused sound waves to destroy a liver tumour.

Could this be a glimpse into the future of medicine, where cancer treatment becomes less invasive?

Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode explores the science, the human story and what innovations like histotripsy could mean for longevity and the future of cancer care. Send this episode onto someone who needs a boost of hope.

Guest: Prof Brian Goh, Head of Department of Hepato-pancreato-biliary and Transplant Surgery, SGH & NCCS, and Principal Investigator of the HALT Study.
