Potential pancreatic cancer treatment developed by UNC researchers could increase life expectancy
Posted Feb 14, 2016
Pancreatic cancer cells are notorious for being protected by a fortress of tissue, making it difficult to deliver drugs to shrink the tumor or stop its growth. Now researchers at UNC have developed a device that could change all that: By using electric fields, the device can drive chemotherapy drugs directly into tumors, preventing their growth and in some cases, shrinking them.
