High intensity focused ultrasound for the treatment of solid tumors: a pilot study in canine cancer patients

CONCLUSIONS: HIFU appears to be safe and feasible for the treatment of subcutaneous canine solid tumors, resulting in ablation of the targeted tissue. HIFU induced immunostimulatory changes, highlighting the canine cancer patient as an attractive model for studying the effects of focal ablation therapies on the tumor microenvironment.PMID:35848421 | DOI:10.1080/02656736.2022.2097323
