Liver is one (the only?) organ for which treatment by histotripsy is FDA approved. Check into it at:

One year into pancreatic cancer (Adenocarcinoma at head of pancreas) metastasis to liver cancelled my scheduled Whipple surgery. Given a poor prognosis, I've explored other options since, including histotripsy . I sat down with one of the few oncological surgeons around the country who routinely does this relatively new and non-invasive procedure. According to him, the desired abscopal effects from histotripsy treatment have yet to seen in patients with liver lesions secondary to pancreatic cancer. If anyone knows otherwise, please let us know. Thanks.
