Local Chemotherapy Delivery to Tumours
Local Chemotherapy Delivery to Tumours

Royal Philips Electronics and Eindhoven University of Technology announced an important development in MRI-guided local drug delivery for cancer treatment. Image-guided drug delivery has been studied by scientists all around the world for almost a decade because it may enable a beneficial increase in tumor chemotherapy drug levels, thereby increasing treatment efficacy without an increase in adverse side effects. The joint research team has now demonstrated in pre-clinical studies that an improved local drug uptake in tumors is achieved, and that it can be visualised and measured in real time.
