For lesions in section 5 and 8 of the liver, can you compare surgery vs SBRT vs histotripsy as treatment options? Does Jacksonville Mayo perform histotripsy? Thank you!

It depends on the tumor type, biology, location, and treatment response. Overall, liver lesions are very complex and require a multidisciplinary team to treat. Seeing a single person can be limiting because that single person oftentimes only offers what they can do. Seeing a whole team of people (like here at Mayo Clinic) is an advantage because we offer whatever treatment is best for the patient no matter who of the team can deliver it.

Also, yes, we do perform histotripsy here at Mayo Clinic in Florida - that work is led by our interventional radiology experts.
