Descripción

What if a cancerous tumour could be destroyed without a single incision, stitch or scar? A Singapore grandfather waiting for a liver transplant has become one of the first patients in Southeast Asia to undergo a breakthrough treatment called histotripsy - a technology that uses focused sound waves to destroy a liver tumour. Could this be a glimpse into the future of medicine, where cancer treatment becomes less invasive? Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode explores the science, the human story and what innovations like histotripsy could mean for longevity and the future of cancer care. Send this episode onto someone who needs a boost of hope. Guest: Prof Brian Goh, Head of Department of Hepato-pancreato-biliary and Transplant Surgery, SGH & NCCS, and Principal Investigator of the HALT Study.

Market View: As semiconductors weaken, what's gaining ground?

After months of AI-fuelled gains, investors hit the brakes on semiconductor stocks, sending SanDisk, Micron, Western Digital, Marvell Technology and Oracle sharply lower this week as concerns grew over lofty valuations and massive AI spending. Yet money didn't leave tech entirely - it rotated into profitable software names. Which names have gained ground? We unpack what this shift says about the next phase of the AI boom, why JPMorgan Chase's strong earnings are reassuring investors about the health of the US economy, and what IBM's disappointing outlook reveals about rising expectations for AI. We also examine whether softer US inflation could give the Federal Reserve more room to cut rates, and why geopolitics may matter more than inflation in the days ahead. Plus, the stocks and sectors investors should keep firmly on their watchlist. Hosted by Michelle Martin. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
