Abstract: Microbubbles are a new kind of delivery system that may be used to treat a variety of
illnesses, including cancer. Microbubble is a non-invasive technology that uses microscopic gasfilled
colloidal particle bubbles with a size range of less than 100 micrometres. This unique carrier
has been used in a variety of applications in the last decade, ranging from basic targeting to ultrasound-
mediated drug delivery. The oxygen in the microbubble lasts longer in the water. The drug
release mechanism is highly regulated, since it releases the medication only in the appropriate
areas, increasing the local impact while reducing drug toxicity. This carrier is exceptional in cancer
medication delivery because of its sustained stability, encapsulation efficiency, and drug targeting.
In this paper, we provide a comprehensive analysis of microbubble technology, including its manufacturing
techniques and use in cancer medication delivery.
