Nanoparticle-mediated sonodynamic therapy improves sonosensitizer delivery, tumor targeting, and biocompatibility relative to standalone sonodynamic therapy.
Nanotechnology-enhanced sonodynamic therapy can be integrated with chemotherapy and immunotherapy to achieve synergistic antitumor effects.
Multifunctional nanoplatforms for sonodynamic therapy are being developed to optimize ROS production, reprogram the tumor microenvironment, and enhance immune activation.
Standalone sonodynamic therapy is limited by poor sonosensitizer accumulation and poor tissue specificity.
Nanoparticle-mediated sonodynamic therapy offers a promising precise, effective, and low-toxicity strategy for tumor immunotherapy with potential for clinical translation.
