Pancreatic cancer is a vicious disease that attacks its victims with great speed, is hard to detect, and for which meaningful therapies are nearly nonexistent. Getting chemo drugs to reach pancreatic tumor cells with precision is a challenge. To overcome this, researchers at Rice University and MD Anderson Cancer Center have been testing a method that relies on carbon nanotubes to deliver chemo precisely into cancer cells, and then onward into the cells’ nuclei.
