I doubt ultrasound would trigger apoptosis in cancer cells, one of the reasons they're cancerous is that they refuse to commit suicide when they should.

It heats them until enough damage is done that they die regardless.
So more like necrosis, not apoptosis. Maybe non-biologists are not aware, but apoptosis is not just cell death.
Or just tears them apart in the case of Histosonics.
