‘Holy grail’ nanoparticle injection that treats skin cancer developed by Yale
- wilg 6y agoDoesn't seem that broadly useful... How much skin cancer is developed by Yale anyway?

- inetsee 6y agoThe article says that the treatment seems to work for "basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma", but doesn't say anything about melanoma. Has anyone read the full paper, and does it say whether treating melanomas might also be effective?
- kweks 6y agoThere's a similar product (injectable or topical) for melanoma https://www.biospace.com/article/releases/qbiotics-announces-clinical-collaboration-with-msd-targeting-unresectable-melanoma/ https://www.biospace.com/article/releases/qbiotics-announces... From my understanding they have products in the veterinary space already on market, and are in stage 2 human trials.

- wiz21c 6y agoFTA: > The injections consist of polymer-based nanoparticles infused with a chemotherapy agent. Does it mean than it's not more efficient than chemotherapy on basic principles ? That it's just targeted much better ?
