Targeting platelet function to improve drug delivery

Oncoimmunology. 2012 Jan 1;1(1):100-102. doi: 10.4161/onci.1.1.17962.

Abstract

Thrombocytopenia-induced tumor hemorrhage improves drug delivery to tumors. This phenomenon presents a new way to increase drug efficacy with minimal side effects. Combining anti-platelet treatment with therapeutic drugs may help us in the search for more effective ways to fight cancer.
