Brand-new treatment stops tumor cells from ‘hiding’ and is being tested in the US. One of Nectin’s main goals is to greatly reduce the need for chemotherapy.
Cancer therapies have improved greatly since chemotherapy was first used to treat the disease in the 1930s. The newer immuno-oncology treatments – which use substances made by the body’s own immune system to combat cancer – don’t carry the same toxic side effects that chemo does.
But a brand-new drug that was developed by Israeli Nectin Therapeuticsis is being tested on cancer patients right now – and it may open the door for immuno-oncology to treat millions of people who were so far ineligible.
