New tools to boost the delivery of drugs to cancer tumours

02.05.2018 Health Problems

The treatment of cancer tumours is made complex by their microenvironment and the abnormalities of the blood vessels sustaining them. The EU-funded NeoNaNo project has developed methods to improve drug delivery to tumours and improve the efficacy of anticancer therapy. Drug delivery to tumours is difficult. The blood vessels they depend on are abnormally structured, heterogeneously distributed and relatively poorly […]

T cell biomarker predicts which CLL patients will respond to CAR T cell therapy
