Sound waves without surgery: new hope for abdominal tumor symptom relief

This study tests whether High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) can safely relieve symptoms like pain from abdominal tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. About 38 adults with benign or malignant tumors will receive a single HIFU session, which uses focused ultrasound waves to heat and destroy tumor tissue without any cuts or needles. The main goals are to see if pain and quality of life improve within six months, and to check for side effects.
