Ultrasound Shakes Brain Tumors for Detection

May-02-18 A non-invasive biopsy method shakes brain tumors to locate their biomarkers in blood samples.

Developed by researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine, the innovative method relies on ultrasound, which targets the tumors and shakes them, along with the blood-brain barrier. This causes the tumors to release their biomarkers while also making the blood-brain barrier more permeable, allowing the markers to flow into the bloodstream for detection.
