Histotripsy; a new approach towards cancer's treatment!

General

Doctors use histotripsy, an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment, to destroy tumors with sound waves and water, avoiding incisions or radiation.
Focused ultrasound ruptures cancer cells instantly, offering painless, near-no-recovery treatment.
Early studies suggest it may boost immune response by liquefying tumor debris.
Histotripsy is a promising, non-invasive cancer treatment that uses focused ultrasound to destroy liver tumors. Patients have seen positive results, and clinical trials show a 95.5% success rate for liver tumors. Researchers are now exploring its use for other cancers, including breast and thyroid.
If a non-invasive treatment like histotripsy were available, would you prefer it over surgery or radiation? Why?

If histotripsy were a suitable option for my condition and supported by strong clinical evidence, I would prefer it because it is non-invasive, has minimal recovery time, and may preserve healthy tissue better than conventional treatments.

All of these therapies mainly depends upon the amount of invasive the tumour is. In which TNM grading does it belong.
