Function of Epirubicin-Conjugated Polymeric Micelles in Sonodynamic Therapy

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
The combinatory use of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and epirubicin (EPI)-conjugated polymeric micellar nanoparticles (NC-6300) is thought to be a less invasive and more efficient method of cancer therapy.
