The primary challenges facing solid tumor therapies are accessibility, incomplete surgical removal of tumor tissue, the resistance of the hypoxic and heterogeneous tumor microenvironment to chemotherapy and radiation, and suffering caused by off-target toxicities. Here, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is an evolving therapeutic approach that uses low-intensity ultrasound to target deep-tissue solid tumors. The ability of ultrasound to deliver energy safely and precisely into small deep-tissue (>10 cm) volumes makes SDT more effective than conventional photodynamic therapy.
