Relief for chronic sinusitis
An ENT doctor answers questions about common treatments for chronic sinusitis.
Under the care of Dr. Marquis Hart, a surgeon affiliated with Sharp Memorial Hospital, Chris’ tumor was removed using the Emprint SX ablation platform.
Chris Harwell successfully underwent surgery and chemotherapy for colon cancer. However, during a follow-up appointment, a 2.5-centimeter tumor was discovered in his liver. The small size of the tumor made Chris the perfect candidate for microwave ablation — a minimally invasive process that destroys tumors without the need for open surgery.
Under the expert care of Dr. Marquis Hart, a board-certified surgeon affiliated with Sharp Memorial Hospital, Chris’ tumor was successfully removed using the new Emprint SX ablation platform, which uses microwave energy to kill cancerous cells. Sharp Memorial is the first hospital in Southern California to use this technology.
After the procedure, Chris was able to recover quickly and return home to celebrate his birthday with his family.
