传统上，手术是治疗许多实体瘤的唯一方法。技术进步促进了开放性手术向微创技术的转变。腹腔镜手术和微创技术不断发展，但几十年来，高强度聚焦超声已经承诺实现最终目标——真正的非侵入性肿瘤消融。然而，直到现在，随着成像技术的进步，这一目标才最终成为一种真正的临床可能性。
Traditionally, surgery has been the only cure for many solid tumours. Technological advances have catalysed a shift from open surgery towards less invasive techniques. Laparoscopic surgery and minimally invasive techniques continue to evolve, but for decades high-intensity focused ultrasound has promised to deliver the ultimate objective-truly non-invasive tumour ablation. Only now, however, with recent improvements in imaging, has this objective finally emerged as a real clinical possibility.
