Biodegradable Implant Shows Promise in Breast Cancer Treatment
Researchers at Houston Methodist Institute have developed a biodegradable medical implant called "Biodegradable Nanofiber Seeds for Drug Delivery" (b-NDES) to deliver anti-cancer immune therapies directly to tumors. The implant, about the size of a rice grain, acts as a small reservoir that is implanted inside the tumor, slowly releasing medications. This helps maintain a high concentration of the drugs within the tumor while minimizing exposure to healthy tissue. Studies on triple-negative breast cancer models showed that treatment with this implant resulted in tumor elimination in 60% of cases without significant side effects, and it could potentially be applied to other types of cancer. The researchers plan to expand its use in the future to include other tumors and prepare for clinical trials.
