Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and response of novel Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-guided ultrasound stimulated microbubble treatment to enhance radiation effects in hum...

Detailed Description

The approach uses relatively low-power ultrasound, operating with lower power levels than high intensity focused ultrasound and ultrasound-based hyperthermia techniques, delivered on the Sonalleve pla...

  • Creatinine within normal institutional limits or creatinine clearance \>60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional upper limit of normal.

Exclusion

  • Pregnant or lactating women may not participate due to the embryotoxic effects of protocol treatment.
  • Unable to have a contrast-enhanced MRI scan - standard of care criteria.
  • Patients having received anthracycline or taxane based chemotherapy within the past 5 days.

  • Target lesion causing deep ulceration, bleeding or discharge of the overlying skin.
  • A fibrotic scar along the proposed FUS beam path.
  • Severe cardiovascular, neurological, renal or hematological chronic disease.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status ≥ 3.
  • Any condition that in the investigator's opinion precludes participation.
