Small Cancer Killing Only Some MinutesIn addition to exploring outer space and continue to build infrastructure megaproyek, China Chongqing via Haifu also dived to the human body. "Haifu knife" to kill the cancer with a focus on ultrasound. Without surgery, pain, transfusion, and without harass the rest of the healthy organ.
Error of the world's largest medical challenge is how to heal without cause new pain. Also, without sacrificing the healthy organ. Very often people have to lose a breast, for example, in order to save lives from cancer. In fact, part of the overall cut is only a few point with cancer.
Technology of surgery also require that the form of damage to skin and muscle network. For the fussy recovery infected liver cancer, the person must kill stomach. Not to mention the form of bleeding and therefore must be prepared transfusion. If successful, proceed with the healing process that takes time.
The challenge is answered with advances in technology for ultrasound medical field.
Scientists from China Chongqing Haifu Technology created a tool that is capable of "killing" cancer without surgery. The name is HIFU (high intensify focused ultrasonic) or HIFU System. Principle, for example, liver or breast cancer is exposed to peanuts, it is also the location of the targeted and off.
"Patients can be through with this procedure aware, without anesthesia. Once completed, the patient can go home, "said Xiang Peng, president and assistant manager in the international Haifu headquarters Haifu in Qingsong Road 1, Chongqing, China, Friday (12 / 6). "Unless the completion of the procedure is already night, he could stay in the hospital," he said, kidding.
This technology is different from the techniques of laser through the network must remain healthy to the point of pain, the consequences can disrupt the healthy organs in the way of the laser. Ultrasound technology direct point of pain and then "to boil" to death.
During this time the public recognized the technology is USG. Due to the nature of the differences in the body layer, can be "seen" condition in the body through the reflection of the frequency of the sound that the ear. Result, we can see the fetus in the womb. Of course energy to "see" the fetus is made low so that no man is the candidate.
While HIFU System or also known as the "knife Haifu" do the ultrasound beam, giving rise to heat. The working principles of the tool is demonstrated with the unique. Water in the glass are given a means of ultrasound beam tumor therapy Haifu Model or Model JC200 JC Focused Ultrasound Tumor Therapeutic System. Right in the middle of a white point. "The starting point is the water temperature is raised to be 65-75 degrees with ultrasound," said Xiang in front of a group of journalists.
White dots that can be arranged by the size of the can of rice raised ago of peanut, or greater. That is, the target of "been" that ultrasound can be arranged with the computer, according to the size of the cancer. Energy that can be distributed there emanated accurately.
Xiang also mendemokan ultrasound energy when the point is placed right on the surface of water. Point because the water evaporation. Hand Xiang ago entered into the water, without touching the point that water is hot. But, he missed underneath, between the transmitter frequency ultrasound is also awash with water that point.
"See that no injured my hand," he said while dust hands with the wet tissue. So, between the ultrasound transmitter that looks like a small circle mike red brick with no heating point "line" hot. Ultrasound transmitter is placed at the bottom of the table where the patient treated.
Haifu System can be reached without changing the point of cancer in the surrounding conditions, both heat up or become ill. "With increasing temperature the ultrasound, the tool is to kill cancer in the right dot," information specialist aged about 40 years ago. Thus, the healthy organs surrounding the point is not touch.
This procedure is also not take long. Time only a few tens minutes to a small tumor or cancer. If the cancer can be really great for hours, depending on the complect. "If the cancer was declared dead, is enough," he explained.
As many as 20 units of the tool is already used in hospitals in China, including in the clinic Haifu own. The other is used in the UK, Japan, the United States, Korea, Hong Kong, Russia, Spain, Italy, Ukraine. To open the eyes of the world, demo abroad conducted in the Churchill Hospital, Oxford, UK. Collaborate with Chongqing Haifu Ultrasound Therapeutics Limited (UTL) English.
The success of cancer therapy from outside the body (extracorporeal) is considered as a "revolution" in the field of medicine. No wonder the Chinese government is very plume research team of 17 experts in their Haifu it. This system is then known as the knife Haifu, even entirely different functions with a scalpel.
The price of 2 million U.S. dollars, is considered feasible, because the tool is very efficient in serving patients. The process is not complect usual conventional surgical procedures. To ensure that this equipment is operated correctly, enter Haifu package price is a doctor with training of experts who will be the operator. Because, however this tool can be operated anyone, doctors still required to ensure the right diagnosis. Haifu operates its own clinic, in collaboration with the Faculty of Medical Ultrasound Engineering University Chongqing.
This tool can serve many patients briefly. Capacity can be two thousand patients a year or five patients a day. Depend not long and complex case of cancer or a tumor in. In Europe, patients pay the cost about 6 thousand euro, for the service of this tool. While in China a little cheaper. According to the site Haifu, about 10 thousand cancer patients have been served with this tool.
Cancer and the tumor can curable with this tool is liver cancer, breast, sarcoma (rope network), pancreas, renal, and bone cancer. Claimed, including the ability to handle the cancer has spread.
