Objective: Despite aggressive therapy, approximately 50% of patients with neuroblastoma (NB) fail to respond, and survivors endure lifelong toxicities. Sonopermeation increases drug uptake via cell bilayer disruption through focused ultrasound and microbubbles (MBs)-gas-filled, sound sensitive lipid spheres. MB response to a given ultrasound pulse (cavitation) varies according to MB size.
