Biodegradable implant aids breast cancer treatment

Researchers at Houston Methodist have developed a biodegradable medical implant that gradually releases immune medications directly into tumors. This aims to enhance cancer treatment effectiveness while reducing side effects. The implant, which is inserted inside the tumor and naturally dissolves over time, activates immune cells to attack the tumor from within. In models of triple-negative breast cancer, this approach eliminated tumors in 60% of cases and minimized exposure to healthy tissue. Its use is expected to expand to several other types of tumors, including pancreatic and lung cancers, with ongoing studies to assess safety and manufacturing processes before clinical trials.
