Nanoparticle therapy could deliver double blow to cancer

(University of East Anglia) A new cancer therapy using nanoparticles to deliver a combination therapy direct to cancer cells could be on the horizon.Using nanoparticles to get drugs directly into a tumor is a growing area of cancer research. The technology developed at UEA is the first of its kind to use nanoparticles to deliver two drugs in combination to target cancer cells. The therapy has been shown to make breast cancer and prostate cancer tumors more sensitive to chemotherapy.
