Episode Revolutionizing Cancer Treatment: The ChemoSeed Implant
In this Aunty M Brain Tumour’s Talk Show episode, we speak with Dr Christopher McConville, an expert in drug delivery for cancer treatment, who is dedicated to addressing the challenges in brain tumour and pancreatic cancer therapy.
These cancers have seen little improvement in survival rates due to drug delivery issues. McConville's team has developed "ChemoSeed," an implantable drug delivery device, initially using Irinotecan, designed to be placed directly into tumour tissue during surgery.
Their preclinical work is promising, but funding is needed for clinical trials to extend high-grade glioma patient survival without harmful side effects. Public awareness and philanthropic support are crucial for advancing this innovative approach and encouraging young researchers to join the field.
