It's an extremely good read and parts of it remind me of some sci-fi thing I read, maybe by Heinlein, about scientists pretending to have magic powers by designing a staff that manipulated things like sound. It's hard to pick a pull quote, but let's go with this (below) and give notable mention to describing traditional treatments as a carpet bombing approach. But histotripsy doesn’t need to understand cancer to be effective. Its reliance on physical force generated by sound means it can ignore questions like what turns normal cells malignant or why certain abnormal cells grow and spread in the body.
