The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) is now offering a noninvasive treatment option for some patients with liver tumors.
Called histotripsy, the procedure uses focused ultrasound waves to destroy tumors without surgery, radiation, or incisions.
“With this technology, our specially trained doctors can target and destroy one or more tumors in a single, noninvasive outpatient procedure with little to no pain,” said Michelle W. Krause, MD, MPH, senior vice chancellor of UAMS Health and CEO of UAMS Medical Center.
UAMS has issued notices of default to Proton International Arkansas LLC over delays in payments owed for UAMS physicians and staff working under contract with the Proton Center of Arkansas, according to a statement provided to the Healthcare Journal of Arkansas.
“The Center continues to operate but we cannot continue giving away free services,” said Leslie Taylor, vice chancellor for communications and marketing at UAMS.
