Kaw627: It seems your NET experience is very similar to mine. I am very interested in response of your search of support for Hystotripsy. I await continued discussion to determine if this may be a successful NET Liver treatment for me as well. What did your Oncologist say?
Thanks for raising this issue. Here is a link to an article from a local Michigan newspaper with more information. The technology originated at University of Michigan. https://www.mlive.com/news/2023/10/breakthrough-treatment-developed-by-um-destroys-cancerous-tumors-with-sound-waves.html
Here is another link from that article to the website of HistoSonics, a firm that has been formed to develop and commercialize the histotripsy technology. It shows Johnson & Johnson and other entities with significant resources have an interest in this company. I believe U of M also has an interest in HistoSonics.

Hello @kaw627 and welcome to the NETs support group on Mayo Connect. I did find some information about the use of histotripsy on the University of Michigan's website. Here is the link to that information. https://histotripsy.umich.edu/
Has this treatment been recommended for NETs?
Hi! Thank you for sending the article, this is the one I had read and found so interesting. I have my 6 month scans next month and this is something I want to talk to my NET doctor about. I have over 30 tumors on my liver (primary in small intestine) and unfortunately I'm not a candidate for surgery. I was wondering if this might be something that would work on me.
