Tag: tumorStealthy Nanoparticles Attack Cancer Cells Drugs embedded in special polymers can more effectively shrink tumors. Combined with chemotherapy, electric fields help prevent the growth of deadly brain tumors. A Beacon to Guide Cancer Surgery A modified virus makes cancer cells fluoresce to better identify tumors. A new imaging probe brings live cancer cells into sharp relief. A new, high-resolution imaging system captures "early" photons. Self-propelled microbots navigate through blood vessels. Carbon nanotubes could reduce side effects from cancer treatment. A clinical trial offers a first step toward personalizing cancer treatments. More-Accurate Radiation Therapy Small, implantable devices could measure radiation from within tumors themselves. Gene probes deployed in eyedrops show brain damage in MRIs of mice. A Viral Attack against Brain Tumors A rabies-related virus seeks out and destroys tumors in the brain. New Test for Cancer Cells in Blood An inexpensive microfluidics chip could lead to earlier cancer detection and treatment. Nanoparticles can be activated by radio frequencies. Treating Breast Cancer with Heat Microwaves can significantly shrink cancer cells. Using Molecular Pathways to Assess Cancer Patients The first complete map of protein interactions in human cells could lead to better treatment for breast cancer. |
