摘要：
Growth in body tissue is slowed, arrested or reversed. In one aspect, this is accomplished by providing bubbles (S315), and delivering, to cause temporary change in physiology that at least one of retards, arrests and reverses said growth, a series of one or more pulses (206) of energy to respective focal points (213) at the site of the growth. In another aspect, temporary change in physiology, such as transient vasospasm (216) in vasculature of a neoplasm, is induced via the mechanical, non-thermal effects of fluid cavitation caused by the pulses. The bubbles, for facilitating the cavitation, in some embodiments, are afforded by administration of a microbubble agent to the host.
