Literature Review: Focused Ultrasound Immunotherapy for Brain Tumors
Details
Researchers conducted a comprehensive literature review of studies using focused ultrasound to modulate anti-tumor immunity in the central nervous system.
Four bioeffects induce immune effects, improve immunotherapy trafficking, or turn "cold" tumors "hot."
When combined with immunotherapy, focused ultrasound can promote robust responses in brain tumors.
The Chordoma Foundation is inviting letters of intent from researchers interested in using its new humanized mouse model to test specific immunotherapeutic hypotheses.
Interested researchers should submit a letter of intent by May 31, 2022.
Accepted concepts will move to the formal proposal phase.
Meeting Report: Society for Thermal Medicine (STM) 2022
Details
The 2022 annual meeting of the STM was held virtually May 1–4.
A special focused ultrasound symposium included research on immunotherapy, imaging, drug delivery, hyperthermia, pancreatic therapy, prostate cancer, and canine solid tumor treatment.
