Ultrasound-Targeted Microbubble Destruction (UTMD): Targeted Nanodrug Delivery in Cancer

Abstract

Cavitation is a process of formation of microbubbles in the ultrasound method. These microbubbles have the potential to interact with either the normal cells or cancerous cells through developing drug delivery mechanism and targeting. This letter deals with the role and application of microbubbles formed via the cavitation process in the ultrasound method for the treatment of cancer.
