New technology for cancer treatment
Welcome to the Life Wisdom Show! Learn from experts who share their wisdom. In Episode 1, we explore the 'king of cancers' and the new painless and non-invasive treatments available in Hong Kong.
Video highlights:
- Liver cancer, known as the "king of cancers," ranks among Hong Kong's five deadliest cancers. While uncommon, its mortality rate is very high. It shows little to no symptoms in the early stages, so most people only discover it when it's already advanced, making treatment much harder.
- Hong Kong is the first city in Asia to offer a breakthrough treatment called Histotripsy. This method uses high-intensity ultrasound waves to break apart cancer cells, offering a lower-risk, painless, and non-invasive treatment for liver cancer.
- Scientists in the United States are also testing Histotripsy on other cancers, such as brain cancer and breast cancer.
- HSBC Life’s VHIS (Voluntary Medical Insurance Scheme) Flexi Plan offers full cover* for Histotripsy treatment giving you access to the latest medical advances. We regularly review and update our coverage so you're always protected by the better treatments.
*Full coverage refers to the actual amount of eligible expenses and other expenses that are charged and payable per the terms and benefits of this policy
