Noninvasive treatment of breast cancer using high-intensity focused ultrasound

Breast conserving surgery is a standard procedure for breast cancer since 1970. Now noninvasive therapy with few complications is preferred. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been developed to ablate solid tumor or cancer noninvasively. Its clinical outcome on breast cancer in China and E...
