The Tumor: a Non-Legal Thriller
“Had he been born in 1990 and diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of 35, in 2025, his story could be rewritten as follows: That same Wednesday morning, Karen hears a crash in the bathroom, and she finds Paul on the floor in a grand mal seizure. He’s taken to the ER and admitted to the hospital. An MR scan is performed with molecular imaging, a more advanced scan than was available ten years earlier.
Based on the scan, the neurosurgeon, with virtual certainty, makes a diagnosis of a glioblast...oma and explains the prognosis and the treatment options, including focused ultrasound therapy. The size and location of Paul’s tumor make it amenable to treatment with focused ultrasound therapy, which is what the neurosurgeon recommends. He explains that the tumor in all probability cannot be cured and will return, but it can be controlled with repeated treatment, giving Paul more years with a high quality of life.
The focused ultrasound brain transducer fits over the head and emits beams of energy that penetrate the skull to target a tumor.MoreLess
