Sonodynamic Therapy: Advances and Challenges in Clinical Translation

Lafond, Maxime, Yoshizawa, Shin, Umemura, Shin‐ichiro·2019·Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine

Abstract

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) consists of the synergetic interaction between ultrasound and a chemical agent. In SDT, the cytotoxicity is triggered by ultrasonic stimuli, notably through cavitation. The unique features of SDT are relevant in the clinical context more than ever: the need for efficacy, accuracy, and safety while being noninvasive and preserving the patient's quality of life. However, despite the promising results of this technique, only a few clinical reports describe the use of SDT. The objective of this article is to provide an extensive overview of the clinical and preclinical research conducted in vivo on SDT, to identify the limitations, and to detail the developed strategies to overcome them.

  • Sonodynamic therapy is a new strategy for tumor treatment with non-invasive, highly controllable, deep tissue penetration, and targeted ability.

    “Sonodynamic therapy (SDT), a new strategy for tumor treatment, has non-invasive, highly controllable, deep tissue penetration, and targeted ability.”
  • SDT employs ultrasound to activate sonosensitizers, which selectively accumulate in tumor tissues, generating reactive oxygen species that target and destroy tumor cells while minimizing damage to surrounding normal tissues.

    “SDT employs ultrasound (US) to activate sonosensitizers, which selectively accumulate in tumor tissues. Upon activation, these sonosensitizers generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), targeting and destroying tumor cells while minimizing damage to surrounding normal tissues from damage [10–13].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
