Thanks so much for answering! I think what I'm trying to understand is why you'd want to target chemicals if other options like surgery also are targeted. Is the application then for tumors that are hard to remove surgically?

Surgery is not a great option. It’s incredibly invasive, it’s risky, it costs valuable time to schedule, it’s expensive and at the point where you’re metastatic it’s not curative in any way. I haven’t read the article, but if you can integrate this with regular chemo cadence to amplify effects at certain locations it seems like a no brainer.

  Exactly. For us at Shasqi, it was about combining the spatial control of surgery with the temporal control (flexibility of dosing) of oral or intravenous drugs.
