A recent Medgadget article discussed the trials of a new method for treating brain cancer. A team of Northwestern University researchers conducted the first clinical trial of an implanted ultrasound device combined with microbubbles to temporarily open pores in the blood-brain barrier. The trial involved patients with glioblastoma, a difficult form of brain cancer, and resulted in a four- to six-fold increase in chemotherapy concentrations in the brain.
