Focused ultrasound can break a tumour apart without heat or cuts, leaving debris the immune system can learn from. Doing that to one tumour may help treat the rest.
Histotripsy destroys tissue mechanically through cavitation, is now approved for liver tumour destruction, and leaves antigenic debris and intact immune signals rather than the coagulated protein produced by thermal ablation. Mouse studies show abscopal effects and increased T-cell priming, and combination with checkpoint blockade is being explored in early trials.
