Traditionally, chemotherapy involves administering drugs through ports that affect the entire body, leading to side effects. Boas and his team are attempting to change this paradigm by developing a new catheter system that allows medications to be delivered directly and evenly into tumors.<\/p>\n<p>The development of this innovative drug delivery system involves advanced microscale 3D printing technology, enabling accurate placement while preserving healthy tissue. This targeted treatment approach represents a significant shift toward precision in cancer therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Key aspects of this project include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Minimally Invasive Procedures<\/strong>: This new method allows doctors to accurately locate and treat tumors without causing damage to surrounding tissues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overcoming Manufacturing Challenges<\/strong>: Conventional manufacturing processes were not sufficient for the complex requirements of the device, making microscale 3D printing essential to the project\u2019s success.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rapid Development Cycle<\/strong>: The team is moving quickly from initial lab models to animal testing, with the goal of advancing to human trials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This groundbreaking technology could offer new hope for patients battling liver cancer, providing a more effective and less invasive treatment option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Ed Boas, an interventional radiologist from City of Hope, is making waves in the field of cancer treatment by working on a pioneering approach to targeted drug delivery for liver cancer.
