Researchers Study Effectiveness of Nanohyperthermia in Softening Tumors

Efforts to defeat cancers are often hindered by the mechanical resistance of tumors and collateral damage of standard treatments. However, a group of researchers from the CNRS, the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM), Paris Descartes University, and Paris Diderot University have successfully softened malignant tumors by heating them.

‘Nanocarriers’ Loaded to Transport Cancer Drugs and Imaging Particles to Tumor Site

A conundrum of cancer is the ability of a tumor to use the human body as a human shield to deflect treatment. Tumors develop around normal organs and tissues, which gives doctors few options, but to damage, remove, or poison healthy parts of the body trying to fight back the cancer with surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.
