High intensity focused ultrasound ablation and antitumor immune response
F Wu - The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2013 - pubs.aip.org
The ideal cancer therapy not only induces the death of all localized tumor cells without
damage to surrounding normal tissue, but also activates a systemic antitumor immunity.
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has the potential to be such a treatment, as it can
non-invasively ablate a targeted tumor below the skin surface, and may subsequently
augment host antitumor immunity. This paper is to review increasing pre-clinical and clinical
evidence linking antitumor immune response to HIFU ablation, and to discuss the potential …
