Teeny Tiny Device Offers Hope for Brain Cancer Treatment
Researchers have developed a miniature device that can be implanted in brain tumors during surgery. This tiny device delivers minuscule amounts of different drugs to test their effects in real time. By studying the responses and molecular changes in the tumor, doctors can fine-tune treatments and personalize medicine for each patient. The device allows for minimal invasiveness and has shown promising results in trials, potentially offering a life-saving solution for patients with gliomas, a type of brain tumor with limited treatment options.
