Researchers at the University of North Carolina are testing a new treatment which will attack malignant cells at the molecular level, leaving healthy cells alone. These nanoparticles could significantly reduce the side affects that are caused by chemotherapy treatments.

Quoted from Yahoo! News:

“I think this will transform the way one detects and treats cancer,” study leader Joseph DeSimone, UNC chemistry professor and director of the school’s Institute for Advanced Materials, Nanoscience and Technology, said in a prepared statement.

If this research proves viable, we may have more cancer survivors.
