Low-pressure pulsed focused ultrasound with microbubbles promotes an anticancer immunological response

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>High-intensity focused-ultrasound (HIFU) has been successfully employed for thermal ablation of tumors in clinical settings. Continuous- or pulsed-mode HIFU may also induce a host antitumor immune response, mainly through expansion o...
