Researchers at Lund University have developed a new electrotherapy approach that targets glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer. The method uses injectable nanoparticles that self‑assemble into a conductive hydrogel inside the tumor. Once in place, the hydrogel acts
Electrotherapy Offers Hope for Glioblastoma Treatment Read More »
Lung cancer remains one of the most difficult cancers to diagnose early, largely because tumors often form in the peripheral regions of the lung where conventional bronchoscopes cannot reach. While CT scans can detect small lesions, obtaining a biopsy or
