Researchers at Northwestern University are touting some positive results for an inventive drug delivery method.
Bind touts positive results for cancer-fighting nanoparticles
Research from Bind Biosciences may lead to a way to deliver high concentrations of cancer-fighting drugs directly to tumors, avoiding the side effects of chemo.
Study: Metal hips don't heighten cancer risks
For all the bad press metal-on-metal hips generate these days over potential malfunctioning and other safety concerns, a new study offers a small piece of good news: The implants don't appear to boost cancer risks after their first 7 years of use.
