| Research Abstract |
Sonodynamic therapy is a new modality using ultrasound(US) to activate certain chemical sensitizers for cancer therapy. In this study, the effect of US combined with a nanoparticle titanium dioxide(TiO2) on melanoma cell was investigated in vitro and in vivo. The cell viability was significantly decreased only after US irradiation in the presence of TiO2.In vivo results showed significant inhibition of tumor growth in groups treated with TiO2 and US.
