Can’t the surgery be then with a small probe just to get the ultra sound tip near the cancer? I don’t know the size of the ultrasound tip but seems to me it can be smaller then a hand or tweezers.

Often constructive and destructive interference of waves can be used to focus the ultrasound through tissue without any incisions at all. Kidney stones are sometimes broken up this way.
