Ultrasound can target oral cancer cells: Study
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science have discovered that ultrasound can selectively kill oral cancer cells by exploiting their mechanical weakness. This non-invasive method also disrupts the protective barriers around tumors, potentially improving future treatment efficacy.
Why it matters
This discovery offers a promising, non-toxic alternative to traditional cancer therapies that could significantly improve patient outcomes.
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), in collaboration with clinicians at MS Ramaiah Medical College and Hospitals have found that oral cancer cells are vulnerable to the moderate mechanical stimulations produced by ultrasound.
The report is a scientific summary of a research study without political or social bias.
