Sound Waves Drive Cancer Drug Therapies to Cancer Cells

April 3, 2018  

Chemotherapy is the most widely used mesothelioma treatment. Chemotherapy drugs have the potential to reduce the size of tumors and slow the spread of the cancer. But mesothelioma chemotherapy, like many cancer drug therapies, has limits to its effectiveness. New research that combines the sound waves from ultrasound treatment with the delivery of cancer drug therapies promises to improve the delivery of chemotherapy. This could make chemotherapy drugs more toxic to cancer cells and less toxic to healthy tissue. The study could lead to new treatment options for mesothelioma … [Read more...]

Other studies, while they may not directly look at mesothelioma tumors, may end up helping mesothelioma patients. Immunotherapy research is mesothelioma research, even when mesothelioma patients aren’t directly involved. Immunotherapy drugs attack certain forms of cancer cells, no matter what the cancer type.
