Curing Cancer: IT-101 Nanoparticle Drug for Cancer Treatment
Ten years ago, Mark Davis was a chemical engineer with a successful career-until
his wife Mary was diagnosed with breast cancer. Mary described her treatments
as so unbearable that "she wanted to die." She turned to Mark and
said, "there's got to be a better way-you can fix this." Mark
felt like saying, "But I don't know squat about cancer." Instead,
he immersed himself in a new field. Ten years later, Ray Natha, a pancreatic
cancer patient with 3 months to live, agrees to be the first subject to be treated
with IT-101, the nanoparticle drug Davis engineered. But will it work? And if
it does, what are the implications for cancer treatment as we know it?
