Media Spotlight: WRAL highlights cancer research
posted March 2nd, 2010
WRAL reports that Duke doctors are harnessing the power of heat in a technique called hyperthermia that enhances other cancer-fighting treatments.
"This temperature is enough to improve delivery of this drug in the tumor and also sensitize this tumor to this drug," said oncologist Dr. Zeljko Vujaskovic, with the Duke medicine school's Department of Radiation Oncology.
