>>Doxorubicin is prescribed for treating several types of cancer, including certain types of leukemia, breast cancer, Hodgkin's disease, and lung cancer. While doxorubicin can kill both healthy and cancerous cells, it has a greater effect on the cancer cells because they multiply more rapidly. Some off-label doxorubicin uses can include treating other types of cancer that the medication has not been approved to treat.


Leukemia for one is out, for now. Keep in mind we have to also have a way to heat the TDox where it is present in order to release it. Solid tumors are where we will position ourselves for quite a while.

Also, though, dox is not the only chemo we can encapsulate. I am hoping to hear more of carboplatin, e.g., following good HEAT data.
