National Cancer Centre Singapore is excited to partner NCIS to embark on clinical trials

National Cancer Centre Singapore shared a post on LinkedIn:

“With a generous S$12 million commitment from the Li Ka Shing Foundation and Temasek Trust, NCCS is excited to partner NCIS to embark on clinical trials using a non-invasive ultrasound-based technology called histotripsy for patients with liver, kidney, and pancreatic cancers.

In Singapore, liver cancer is the third most common cause of cancer death for men, with liver and pancreatic cancers among the top 10 causes of cancer mortality. These cancers often do not show symptoms until the later stages, making early detection and effective treatment difficult.

Thank you to the Li Ka Shing Foundation and Temasek Trust for the strong support towards advancing cancer research by enabling us to study this innovative technology!”
