Researchers have developed a new focused ultrasound—based method of liquid biopsy.
When used with an innovative medical device for testing and analysis, physicians could soon quickly determine whether brain tumor treatments are working.
St. Baldrick’s Foundation will provide $5,000 to an undergraduate, graduate, or medical school student working in a pediatric oncology research setting.
Mentor and student pairs should apply by February 20.
“Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy have been called the four pillars of oncology treatment. I envision focused ultrasound as becoming the fifth pillar. My hope is that in five years veterinary medicine will recognize focused ultrasound as a remarkable tool.”
