Summary: The objective of this study is to examine the safety profile and therapeutic efficacy of MRI-guided focused ultrasound microbubble therapy and radiotherapy in humans.

Detailed description: The approach uses relatively low-power ultrasound, operating with lower power levels than high intensity focused ultrasound and ultrasound-based hyperthermia techniques, delivered on the Sonalleve platform. The tumour will be sonicated before the radiation to enhance the effect of therapy. The technique is spatially targeted and stimulates microbubbles using low-power ultrasonic fields in the tumour location only. the primary aim of this research is to evaluate the safety profile of MRI-guided ultrasound stimulated microbubble treatment and radiation in patients with malignant melanoma. The secondary aim is to evaluate tumour (primary and/or metastasis) response to MRI-guided ultrasound stimulated microbubble treatment and radiation, as measured radiologically within the treated regions.

Criteria for eligibility:
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria: - Age ≥18 years - All biopsy-confirmed malignant melanoma of the skin and non melanoma skin cancer, including metastatic lesions. - Stage I-IV malignant melanoma and non melanoma skin cancer, per AJCC guidelines (8th Edition). - Patient referred for palliative radiotherapy/ standard radiotherapy/ neoadjuvant radiotherapy/ SBRT/ hypofractionation. - Patient on immunotherapy. - Able to understand and give informed consent. Weight <140kg. - Target lesion visible by non-contrast MRI. - Target lesion accessible for MRg-FU procedure. - Able to communicate sensation during MRg-FU treatment. - Creatinine within normal institutional limits or creatinine clearance >60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above the institutional upper limit of norma Exclusion Criteria: - Pregnant or lactating women may not participate due to the embryotoxic effects of protocol treatment.
