High-intensity Ultrasound Helps to Wipe Out Cancer Cells Anywhere in the Body

A new study has found that an intense form of ultrasound that shakes a tumor until its cells start to leak can launch an attack on cancer.

The study led by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering has suggested that a high intensity ultrasound can activate an “alarm” that enlists immune defenses against the cancerous invasion.

The new findings from animal experiments imply that once triggered by the ultrasound, the immune system might even search for and devastate cancer cells, including those that have spread through the bloodstream to lurk in other parts of the body.
