Hi,
Accidently I came across this video introducing a brand new treatment of certain kind of cancers to start with, it mentioned at a Southern California Hospital, the treatment device is called Edison Hystertripsy System, no further information is given. I would find out where and call the hospital to get more information on this new treatment, may work for different cancers, you never know.
I found this video on TikTok under the search name of Gina Bonanno-Lemos.
I was unable to find anything called "hystertripsy." Perhaps it is "histotripsy?"
