Building upon previous work at UT Southwestern Medical Center, investigators report the results of a clinical trial exploring the role of stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SAbR) for patients with a handful of metastases, or so-called oligometastatic disease.
Lipid nanoparticles carry gene-editing cancer drugs past tumor defenses: Newsroom - UT Southwestern, Dallas, Texas
https://www.utsouthwestern.edu/newsroom/articles/year-2022/june-gene-editing-cancer-drugs.html
As they grow, solid tumors surround themselves with a thick, hard-to-penetrate wall of molecular defenses. Getting drugs past that barricade is notoriously difficult.
