In this study, we proposed a therapeutic strategy to improve the tumor growth inhibition by injecting pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD), and then applying a short time of ultrasound hyperthermia (HT) on the entire solid tumor, and inflicting ultrasound thermal ablation (Ab) in the low-perfused tumor region. Methods: BALB/c female mice with an average weight of 20 g were adopted and murine breast cancer cells 4T1 were subcutaneously implanted into the flank. A 1.0-MHz planar and a 0.47-MHz focused ultrasound transducers were used, respectively, for the HT and Ab treatment. Results: For a PLD dose of 5 mg/kg, the PLD + HT(42 °C, 10 min) group caused a significant decrease in the tumor size as compared with the control and the PLD group, but there were no significant differences between the PLD + HT group and the PLD + Ab(56 °C, 49 s) + HT group. For a PLD dose of 3 mg/kg, the tumor sizes among the four groups were mutually significant. The level of reduction in tumor was PLD + Ab + HT > PLD + HT > PLD > control. Conclusion: The combination of anticancer nanodrug and ultrasound thermal treatment could remarkably suppress cancer tumor growth with a minimum compromise of side effects. Significance: The strategy of using thermal Ab in locations that are not reached by nanodrug with mild HT shows a promising potential for the entire tumor treatment. ? 1964-2012 IEEE. |
