The rationale behind this approach is that drug encapsulation in micelles decreases systemic concentration of drug, diminishes intracellular drug uptake by normal cells, and provides passive drug targeting of tumors, thus reducing unwanted drug interactions with healthy tissues. Ultrasound irradiation is used to release drug from micelles at the tumor site and to enhance the intracellular drug uptake by tumor cells. An important advantage of ultrasound is that it is noninvasive, can penetrate deep into the interior of the body, can be focused and carefully controlled.

One minute thoughts of the water park the next our child is critically ill in the PICU. We would have never chosen to be a part of this journey with childhood cancer, but it was chosen for us, and our sweet Kate. She is now in the Phoneix Children’s Hospital undergoing treatment for this disease. Kat​e underwent a craniotomy with tumor resection on July 3rd, 2009. They unfortunate​ly were only able to remove 50% of the tumor due to it’s location in the left temporal lobe of her brain and the fact that the tumor had wrapped itself around major blood vessels to her brain. Kate experienced right sided paralysis immediately following surgery. She has since regained much of this, however right sided weakness still …
