Nanotechnology Now - Press Release: Cutting-edge combination shows promise in patients with chemotherapy-resistant urothelial cancer

A combination of two types of cancer-fighting treatments – the immunotherapy agent pembrolizumab and a nanoparticle-bound form of the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel – may provide an urgently needed new treatment approach for patients who do not respond to or can't receive standard chemotherapy for advanced urothelial cancers, reports a preliminary study in The Journal of Urology®, an Official Journal of the American Urological Association (AUA). The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.
