Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an anticancer treatment that uses light to activate cytotoxic compounds killing cancer cells. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a new anticancer treatment where ultrasound is used to trigger the cytotoxic effect of chemical compounds known as sonosensitizers. SDT is able to focus the ultrasound energy, generated by selected continuous or pulsed ultrasound such as shock waves (SW), onto malignant sites situated deeply inside tissues overcoming the main drawback linked to the use of PDT: the poor penetration of light in biological tissues.
