High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment of brain tumors is complicated by heating of the skull. Here, our goal is to overcome this limitation by developing an ultrasound-microbubble-based therapeutic approach that complements HIFU by mechanically-damaging tumor tissue, occluding blood flow, and depositing 5-FU bearing controlled-release nanoparticles into brain tumors at reduced power levels. Experiments for monitoring nanoparticle delivery, blood flow changes, and tumor regression will be performed using tumors implanted in mouse dorsal skinfold window chambers. We anticipate these that studies will result in the successful development of a delivery method and agent(s) suitable for preclinical testing with HIFU.

Zusammenfassung. Das Prostatakarzinom zeigt eine hohe Prävalenz und ist daher für die behandelnden Ärzte medizinisch, aber auch gesundheitspolitisch relevant. PSA-Screening senkt die karzinomspezifische Mortalität, ist jedoch aufgrund der hohen Prävalenz mit einer Überdiagnostik verbunden. Dies fordert im Gegenzug einen verantwortungsbewussten Umgang mit dem PSA-Test («smarter screening»). Durch die robotergestützte Prostatektomie steht eine Therapie mit geringer Morbidität zur Behandlung des lokalisierten Prostatakarzinoms zur Verfügung. Das fokale Behandlungskonzept der HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) ist vielversprechend, jedoch noch klinisch experimentell und sollte im Rahmen von Studien angeboten werden. Die Behandlungsmöglichkeiten beim metastasierten Prostatakarzinom wurden entscheidend vervielfältigt. Chemotherapie und die sekundäre Hormontherapie werden voraussichtlich vermehrt in früheren Phasen der Krankheit eine Rolle spielen, wodurch die Therapie für den einzelnen Patienten immer komplexer wird und individuell angepasst werden muss.
