Recent Progress Toward Imaging Application of Multifunction Sonosensitizers in Sonodynamic Therapy

International Journal of Nanomedicine, 2022
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a rapidly developing non-surgical therapy that initiates sensitizers' catalytic reaction using ultrasound, showing great potential for cancer treatment due to its high safety and non-invasive nature. In addition, recent research has found that using different diagnostic and therapeutic methods in tandem can lead to better ...
