Treatment of Liver Metastases With Focused Ultrasound and Microbubbles in Patients With Colorectal Cancer Receiving Chemotherapy
Pre-clinical trials have obtained promising results that focused ultrasound (FUS) combined with microbubbles (MBs) increases tumor uptake and the therapeutic effect of drugs. The aims of the study described here were to investigate whether FUS and MBs could improve the effect of chemotherapy in patients with liver metastases from colorectal cancer and to investigate the safety and feasibility of using FUS + MBs.
