"Beersheba Researchers Develop Breakthrough Treatment for Advanced Colorectal Cancer"

A research team from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Beersheba has developed a nano-sized polymer that can selectively deliver chemotherapeutic drugs to blood vessels feeding tumors and metastases, effectively treating advanced colorectal cancer that has spread in mice. The polymer, licensed to Vaxil Biotherapeutics, has shown promising preclinical results and is set to undergo human clinical trials soon, offering hope for treating advanced cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
