Abstract:
Ultrasonic microbubbles are vesicles withgas core stabilized by a shell comprised of lipids,pro-teins,and polymer materials.It can be used not only as a contrast agent to diagnose the disease and monitor the pathological process at the molecular level,but also as a carrier of non-invasive treatment,carrying drugs or genes to the region of interest through blood circulation,thereby exerting therapeutic effects.Compared with traditional diagnosis and treatment methods,ultrasound microbubbles show great potential.Targeted imaging and treatment can identify specific types of tumors in the early stage,and improve the prognosis by reducing the systemic toxicity of chemotherapy drugs while enhancing the anti-tumor efficacy.This provides a new idea and strategy for future diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer.This article reviews the application of ultrasound microbubbles in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer.
