In this short book, he provides readers with a fictional account of how a real, new medical technology could revolutionize the future of medicine by curing with sound. THE TUMOR follows the present day experience of the fictional patient Paul, an otherwise healthy 35-year-old father who is diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Grisham takes readers through a detailed account of Paul's treatment and his family's experience that doesn't end as we would hope. Grisham then explores an alternate future, where Paul is diagnosed with the same brain tumor at the same age, but in the year 2025, when a treatment called focused ultrasound is able to extend his life expectancy. Focused ultrasound has the potential to treat not just brain tumors, but many other disorders, including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, hypertension, and prostate, breast and pancreatic cancer. For more information or to order a free hard copy of the book, you can visit The Focused Ultrasound Foundation's website. Here you will find a video of Grisham on the TEDx stage with the Foundation's chairman and a Parkinson's patient who brings the audience to its feet sharing her incredible story of a focused ultrasound "miracle." Readers will get a taste of the narrative they expect from Grisham, but this short book will also educate and inspire people to be hopeful about the future of medical innovation. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Cancer $x Treatment. 650 0 $a Cancer $x Alternative treatment. 650 0 $a High-intensity focused ultrasound $z Charlottesville. $z Charlottesville. 650 0 $a Medical care $x Finance. $x Finance. 650 0 $a Fund raising $z Charlottesville. $z Charlottesville. 700 1 $a Grisham, John. 700 1 $a Mcnamara, Nan. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/13465351?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/dra_9781987103892_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20201104010418.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6874D4461E6B11EB959D49ED2CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
