Attacking the architecture of the cancer cell may help children with hard-to-treat neuroblastoma

Children with a particularly lethal cancer could benefit from potentially life-saving treatment, following breakthrough work led by researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). A whole new class of drugs has been developed that, for the first time, targets the structure of the cancer cell. UNSW researchers have provided proof that the therapy is effective in two types of cancers in the animal model. They are neuroblastoma, a cancer that affects children, and melanoma. The resulting paper has been published in Cancer Research...
