It won't work for liquid tumours (i.e. blood cancers) since they "metastasise" to the whole vein/artery network.

Cancers in the brain/lungs/bone, unlikely, since the speed of sound is very different between bone/air and flesh. Though I could be wrong.

But for any solid tumour, it should work well.

Not every tissue passes ultrasound as well as the liver so it might need fine tuning for different tissues.

The liver also regenerates a lot faster which probably helps mitigate off-target effects.

According to the articles, it causes very little off-target damage.
