Nanotechnology helps track and improve drug action in pancreatic cancer

Public release date: 12-Jun-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Alison Heather a.heather@garvan.org.au 61-292-958-128 Garvan Institute of Medical Research UK and Australian scientists have been able to show ways in which we can markedly improve drug targeting of solid tumours, using tiny ‘biosensors’ along with new advanced imaging techniques. In real time and in three dimensions, these technologies can show us how cancers spread and how active cancer cells respond to a particular drug. They can also tell us how much, how often and how long to administer drugs Continue reading
