A small ultrasound device implanted in the skull can be switched on at each chemotherapy visit to briefly open the brain barrier, letting drugs in every cycle.
Implantable ultrasound emitters have been used in recurrent glioblastoma trials with carboplatin and with albumin-bound paclitaxel, showing repeated safe barrier opening and increased brain drug concentrations. The remaining questions are whether the added exposure translates into survival, and which drug benefits most from repeated opening.
One of the most cited trial reports Europe PMC returns for Carboplatin in Glioma & glioblastoma, so it is a natural first reading for anyone weighing the idea it is linked from. The record was linked automatically by title and abstract; read the abstract above and the paper itself before relying on any figure.
