Antitumor effects of combining docetaxel (taxotere) with the antivascular action of ultrasound stimulated microbubbles.

Ultrasound stimulated microbubbles (USMB) are being investigated for their potential to promote the uptake of anticancer agents into tumor tissue by exploiting their ability to enhance microvascular permeability. At sufficiently high ultrasound transmit amplitudes it has also recently been shown tha...
