Description
What if a tumor can be removed without having to go under the knife? It's possible, thanks to a device that Seattle doctors said, "liquefies" cancer growth in the liver.
Providence Swedish is the first hospital group on the West Coast to offer this treatment and it's giving one patient who's undergone it, some new hope.
"I actually had some pain in my chest that I thought was maybe heartburn or something. Didn't think it was anything serious," said Sara Marthoski.
