Has anyone out there tried Histotripsy for tumors in the liver?

Thanks. I am searching for options for me. Recent MRI detected a tumor in the liver and another in the right abdominal wall. Had a tumor removed from the liver in January 2024.
I truly appreciate the informative reply.

Hello @ml59 - According to the HISTONICS website (https://myhistotripsy.com/what-is-histotripsy/), the procedure is available at Mayo Clinic Rochester. Here's the number listed under the Find a Doctor page on the website.

Mayo Clinic Department of Radiology, Rochester, MN
Phone: 507-255-7507

Is Histotripsy offered at the Mayo Clinic of Rochester, MN?
Thanks for any help.

HI -
Has anyone received the HistoTripsy treatment -->
In our case, my father , around 71 yr old has combined HCC + IHCC .. Diagnosed recently
He is having liver cirrhosis , diagnosed around 5 yrs

If anyone with similar situation received treatment.... please revert...

So optimistic about this treatment modality! I have two questions. Has this treatment been successful on NETs in other areas of the body aside from the liver and are any hospitals in the Boston area making use of this treatment? I have a small intestinal NET that is encapsulated within the mesentery thereby making it inoperable and nets to the liver. I'm currently receiving lanreotide shots with good results but the goal is to maintain but if this treatment could do more....

@vinnie694: Congrats on your Histrotripsy procedure! Not many side effects is wonderful to hear.
Please share your tumor control/resolution when you get results of upcoming scans!!! I am so anxious to find out. Thanks,Bette

I feel great! The anti nausea meds they gave me during the treatment worked great, no side effects at all with the exception of being tired, but I also had my double shots of Ocreotide right after the treatment, an I get a respiratory reaction with the shots so I have to take a double dose of Benadryl before the shots! With all that said I really can’t pin the tiredness on the Lutathera treatment.. But. Do feel good.. wasn’t any more tired with the treatment, than when I get my monthly shots..

@jiamgmx: I want to personally thank you for your Histrotripsy consultation update. You have helped me and many of our peers!
Y90 is a therapy I am researching as a possible solution. It is a targeted therapy but not as specific to only tumor tissue (my liver is close to portal vein), however many have zapped liver tumors successfully. I wish you all the best in your treatment decision. This is a time to think analytically and weigh the RISK vs. the Benifits. You got this! Bette

Hi Teresa,
Thanks for the information. Right now, Loyola University medical center at Chicago (Maywood) is working on arranging the procedure. I would prefer to having the Y90 procedure done in Mayo Clinic, but just don’t know how long it will take to get it scheduled and get it done. My hepatologist wants me to get it as early as possible, but I don’t really know how urgent it is.

How are you feeling after your first Lutathera treatment, @vinnie694?
