‘Nanocarriers’ Loaded to Transport Cancer Drugs and Imaging Particles to Tumor Site

A conundrum of cancer is the ability of a tumor to use the human body as a human shield to deflect treatment. Tumors develop around normal organs and tissues, which gives doctors few options, but to damage, remove, or poison healthy parts of the body trying to fight back the cancer with surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.
