Abstract

Provided herein methods for treating a subject suffering from a disease or a disorder associated with hyperproliferating cells, by irradiating the cells with low-frequency ultrasound at an intensity that is either below the cavitational threshold intensity for the ultrasound frequency, or is characterized by a low-frequency mechanical index below 2.5. The methods may further comprise determining an elasticity value of the cells, and adjusting the ultrasound intensity accordingly.
