Improved liver cancer treatment by using microbubbles

Following the trail of bubbles

UT scientist Erik Groot Jebbink wants to use microbubbles for improving the treatment of liver cancer. Pre-injecting microbubbles to see their route towards the tumor could be key to improve the precision of delivering injected cell-killing radioactive particles at the tumor site.
