Researchers with the Kansas City Veterans Affairs Medical Center and North Dakota State University have designed a new way to deliver pancreatic cancer drugs that could make fighting the disease easier. They designed a nanoparticle delivery system that stops the drugs from breaking down and releases them specifically to cancer cells in the pancreas and not to other areas of the body.
