I'm a bit confused on the use of word non-invasive in this context.

I was under the impression that non-invasive meant no cutting of tissue. Even if ultrasound separated the cancerous tissue from the healthy tissue - how would the surgeons get it out of the head without cutting into the skull? I also thought some surgeons used diluted hydrogen peroxide irrigation for removing potential neoplastic cancerous tissues post excision?
