Development of an intranodal administration method
update：2021-07-12
Features
(1) The amount of anticancer drug required to treat one metastatic lymph node is 1/1,000 to 1/10,000 of the systemic dose.(2) The drug can be administered into the lymph node under ultrasound guidance.
(3) An international patent has been filed for the solvent of the administered drug.
Targeted Application(s)/Industry
