Nanoparticles have been one of the most recent targets of cancer research for their ability to deliver anti-cancer drugs directly to tumors. The microscopic delivery system is also the focus of immunotherapy treatment. Now, researchers report that by using nanoparticles they can effectively deliver multiple immunotherapy drugs at the same time, increasing the effectiveness of […]
