A Promising Start for New Anticancer Drug, Miguel Hernandez University Study

Spanish researchers have developed on a nanometric scale a new drug that combines photothermia and chemotherapy to help fight cancer. Until now, researchers have applied this new drug on human glioma cell cultures in the laboratory. The results are particularly interesting for the treatment of skin cancer (melanoma) and solid tumors of the nervous system such as gliomas. The work was coordinated by Professor Eduardo Fernández Jover (Miguel Hernández University of Elche) and Pablo Botella, researcher at the Institute of Chemical Technology of Valencia.
