Core Tip

Core Tip: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has the potential to be a reliable, minimally invasive technique that could revolutionize cancer treatment. Although relatively rare, limb spindle cell sarcomas can be effectively controlled by non-invasive treatment, as demonstrated in this case report. Continued advancements in HIFU technology will improve its effectiveness and benefit patients.
