Targeting and Modulating Tumor-Associated Sites with Novel Nanoparticle-Based Immunotherapies

Laura Jeanbart

Cancer is a global disease and a leading cause of death worldwide. While surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy comprise the classical tools to eradicate tumors, they do not cure cancer, cannot prevent metastases, lead to side effects, and most importantly ...
