Chinese researchers use microbubbles to shrink aggressive liver tumours: paper

Wait 5 sec.

Chinese researchers have found a safe way to shrink advanced tumours from an aggressive form of liver cancer, an advance that could see microbubbles used to enhance current treatments.The tiny gas-filled bubbles, typically a few micrometres in diameter, were originally designed as contrast agents in ultrasound imaging, but scientists have recently been exploring their therapeutic potential.According to a paper published by the peer-reviewed Scientific Reports on July 19, the study compared...
