A new device that delivers cancer drugs directly into tumors without relying on perfusion via the bloodstream, could increase life expectancy for patients with pancreatic, breast and other solid cancers, say researchers. The new device uses a method called "iontophoresis" where an electrical field drives chemotherapy drugs directly into the tumor, preventing their growth, and in some cases, even shrinking them, says the team from the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill.
