To do this, we are developing an immunotherapy-loaded, biodegradable gel that can be applied directly to the cancer site during surgery. The goal: Safer and more effective therapies, with less reliance on harsh follow-up treatment, giving kids a better chance at a full and healthy life.
This is the kind of bold, early-stage work that you make possible through Cure Cancer. Your support means researchers can pursue promising ideas that are too important to wait."
