Beating brain cancers with.. sound waves? | TARGET: Cancer Podcast | Ep. 45
In this episode, Sanjay welcomes Dr. Ely Benaim from SonALAsense and discusses a groundbreaking technology targeting brain cancer. Dr. Benaim explains the concept of sonodynamic therapy, which introduces a novel approach to disrupting cancer's energy source by exploiting the cancer cell's hunger for 5-ALA, ultimately causing its death. This approach, without toxicity or side-effects, provides hope in treating GBM, DIPG, and other cancers.
