For the first time since 2011, LSU will not be in the NCAA Tournament, but the Ragin Cajuns should be headed to the Regional after a great run in the Sun Belt Tournament, where they went 5-and-2 and made it to the Tournament championship game where they lost to Southern Miss.

Willis Knighton Health in Shreveport is the first health organization in the region to offer a breakthrough liver cancer treatment. It was performed by Dr. Gazi Zibari, the director of the Willis Knighton Advanced Surgery Center. He says it’s a robotic histotripsy (HISS-to-trip-sy), which is a non-thermal, non-invasive ultrasound-based ablative therapy that destroys tissue through focused cavitation.

Cut 9 (09)  “…the tumor microenvironment.”

Dr. Zibari says this new technology allows for this treatment to be done on an outpatient basis – no need for the patient to be admitted for days.

The legislation is awaiting a vote by the full Senate before it heads to the governor’s desk.
