How This Entrepreneur Is Revolutionizing the Way We Treat Cancer

March 11, 2016 News

By the time pancreatic cancer is diagnosed, the tumors often are too large to be surgically removed. Doctors use chemotherapy to try to shrink them, but because the pancreatic tumor doesn’t have that many blood vessels, the drugs don’t often reach the tumor in the desired concentration.  Biomedical engineer Dr. Laura Indolfi envisions a drug-infused bandage that can be wrapped around a tumor to solve this problem.  “A lot of money has been spent, and a lot of research done, to find a new powerful agent for pancreatic cancer. But there aren’t enough blood vessels inside. It’s wrong for this type of tumor. The drug will go everywhere else.”
