Addressing Challenging Cancers

M. Aryal, Y. Zhang et al. demonstrated that focused ultrasound can enhance delivery of anti-cancer drugs (Doxirubicin) and have a therapeutic effect on gliomas in a rat model.

HF. Gao et al. performed the first clinical trial using focused ultrasound to treat local advanced pancreatic cancer.
