Accepted Answer

Histotripsy is an emerging focused ultrasound technology that's being studied for various cancer types, though research for neuroendocrine tumors specifically is still developing. This non-invasive approach uses targeted sound waves to destroy tissue, and while early results show promise in some cancers, it's important to discuss with your oncology team whether this might be relevant for your specific situation. Others in the community may have insights to share about newer treatment options they've encountered in their journeys.
