Effect of continuous therapeutic ultrasound on breast cancer cells
The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of continuous therapeutic ultrasound as an alternative therapy to treat breast cancer disease. The study starts with the optimization of the cell seeding numbers, followed by exposure the cells with the ultrasound with two different doses, then M...
