Popis: Local drug delivery systems, such as in situ forming implants (ISFIs), allow for sustained elevated drug concentration directly at the tumor site. However, these systems have been challenging to translate into clinical practice due to poor drug penetration through the implant/tumor boundary. Ultrasound (US) has emerged as a popular approach to enhance drug release and cellular drug uptake from nanoparticles, but little work has been done with its use in combination with ISFIs. In this study, ISFIs were intratumorally injected and treated with therapeutic ultrasound (TUS). A significant (p
