Nanotherapeutic Systems for Local Treatment of Brain Tumors
Malignant brain tumors are heterogeneous and invasive, with high morbidity and mortality rates. The main challenge associated in treating such tumors is the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which actively filters out molecules entering from the blood stream.
