Abstract
Methods for reducing the growth of breast cancer cells in a subject by exposing the cells to nanoparticles, and irradiating with a focused, low to medium power ultrasound. The nanoparticles can be gold or magnetic nanoparticles. The nanoparticles can have a cancer drug attached, such as an antibody-based cancer drug.
