Abstract
In recent years, ultrasound-stimulated microbubbles (USMBs) have gained great attention because of their wide theranostic applications. However, due to their micro-size, reaching the targeted site remains a challenge. At present, ultrasound-stimulated nanobubbles (USNBs) have attracted particular interest, and their small size allows them to extravasate easily in the blood vessels penetrating deeper into the tumor vasculature. Incorporating USNBs with existing cancer therapies such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and/or radiation therapy in several preclinical models has been demonstrated to have a profound effect on solid tumors. In this review, we provide an understanding of the composition and formation of nanobubbles (NBs), followed by the recent progress of the therapeutic combinatory effect of USNBs and other cancer therapies in cancer treatment.
