Histotripsy near St. Louis

I was operated on 5 tumors at the Swedish Hosp. in Seattle last May of 2024. Histotripsy was recently introduced and they were only able to reduce some tumors. Histotripsy is developing, and as it is a non-invasive approach but still requires anesthesia (I was put under for 7 hours), I am looking forward to when the killer bots are unleashed. (Still under trial).

Wow, 7 hours of anesthesia! I didn’t realize the procedure took so long. Is that the reason for the 5 tumor limit?
