New Radiation-free Targeted Therapy Detects And Eliminates Breast Cancer Tumors In Mice, California Institute of Technology And Cedars-Sinai Medical Center And Israel Institute of Technology Study

Caltech -- PASADENA, Calif.--Combining a compound known as a gallium corrole with a protein carrier results in a targeted cancer therapy that is able to detect and eliminate tumors in mice with seemingly fewer side effects than other breast-cancer treatments, says a team of researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), the Israel Institute of Technology (Technion) and the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
