“A new technology developed at Tel Aviv University (TAU) makes it possible to destroy cancerous tumors in a targeted manner via a combination of ultrasound and the injection of nanobubbles into the bloodstream.”
“Our new technology makes it possible, in a relatively simple way, to inject nanobubbles into the bloodstream, which then congregate in the area of the cancerous tumor,” Dr. Ilovitsh says. “After that, using a low-frequency ultrasound, we explode the nanobubbles, and thereby the tumor.”

So localized cavitation? Wouldn't this risk spreading metastisized cells elsewhere through the bloodstream?
