Mechanical high intensity focused ultrasound (mHIFU): exploring the synergistic effects between killing tumor cells and inducing antitumor immunity in vivo. Ghent University
The discovery that certain types of “classical” cancer therapies, including specific chemotherapeutic
drugs and radiotherapy regimens were able to kill tumor cells in such a way that they alert the
patient’s immune response, revolutionized our view on the interaction of these therapies with the
