There are already lots and lots of treatments for localized tumors in the liver - radiofrequency oblation, cryo oblation, microwaves, etc. These kinds of articles often tout new treatments as a bold new thing, but they don't really change the state of medicine, and it's not like they would be a replacement for chemo, for example. I'd be very curious how histotripsy compares to these other localized tumor treatments.
