Research progress in ultrasound mediated tumor immunotherapy
many studies have confirmed that ultrasound can mediate tumor immunotherapy. High-intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)can cause tumor fragments to be generated in situ
while destroying tumors.Tumor fragmentscan serve as antigens of the immune system
forming in situ vaccine and inducing the organism to produce a systematic immuneresponse. Microbubble as the carrier
mediated immunity adjuvants targeted to tumor cells and immune cells by ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction
which not only can enhance the body’s immune response
improve the efficacy of tumorimmunotherapy
but also can reduce the dosage of immunity adjuvants and reduce side effects.This paper reviews the researchprogress in ultrasound mediated tumor immunotherapy and discuss the potential application and possible challenges.
