Ultrasound-triggered microbubble cavitation is a promising tool for drug and gene delivery in cancer therapy. We evaluated the temporal and spatial profile of cisplatin delivery by ultrasound-triggered microbubble cavitation. We used a bladder cancer mimicking 3D culture model for this study. Single treatment of ultrasound-triggered microbubble cavitation increased an intracellular concentration of cisplatin at the thickness of 100 μm. The duration of enhanced delivery was 1 hr. Based on the distance and duration of delivery, we further tested the feasibility of repetition of the treatment. Triple treatment increased the effective distance by 2-fold. Our results clearly showed spatial and temporal profile of delivery by ultrasound-triggered microbubble cavitation in a tumor-mimicking structure. The results of this study suggest that ultrasound-triggered microbubble cavitation can be repeatable and is promising for cancer treatment.
