In a major advance for the treatment of the deadly brain cancer glioblastoma, Northwestern Medicine scientists including Adam Sonabend, MD, used ultrasound technology to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and provide a small dose of a chemotherapy and immunotherapy drug cocktail. The study, published in Nature Communications, found that this treatment boosted the immune system’s recognition of the cancer cells and could lead to a new treatment approach.
