“…6) correlated with treatment duration and repetition rate, suggesting that ultrasound has the potential to effectively treat superficial tumors. Since ultrasound is known to cause cell death 20,22,23,57 via non-thermal mechanical effects [58][59][60] , using low-frequency ultrasound (20 kHz) is advantageous because it provides cavitation and acoustic streaming as a result of naturally dissolved gas bubble oscillation 61 without the need for external intervention, such as cavitation nuclei or microbubbles. All these natural phenomena, which increase as the ultrasound energy level increases, can trigger biophysical effects, such as microstreaming, micro-jetting, and free radical formation, which may affect cell viability 62 .…”
