January 26th, 2006
Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University's Massey Cancer Center have created a new platinum-based, anti-cancer agent able to overcome acquired drug resistance by first modifying the way it is absorbed into cancer cells and then attacking the DNA of those cancer cells. The findings may help researchers design a new generation of anti-cancer drugs that selectively target cancer cells, reduce resistance and side effects, and expand the range of tumors that can be treated by platinum.
