Abstract

Tumor immunotherapy has become an important means of tumor therapy by enhancing the immune response and triggering the activation of immune cells. However, currently, only a small number of patients respond to immunotherapy alone, and patients may experience immune-related adverse events (irAEs) during the course of treatment. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) can produce cytotoxic substances to tumor tissue, induce apoptosis and enhance immunity. SDT combined with immunotherapy is considered a promising strategy for cancer treatment. In this mini review, we summarize the role of SDT in immunotherapy in recent years, including the application of SDT-triggered immunotherapy and the combination of SDT and immunotherapy.
