Therapeutically targeting a solute carrier transporter in the stroma of pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer (PC) claims five Australian lives daily, with little improvement in patient survival in 40 years. Targeting PC cells alone has failed. Pancreatic tumours are surrounded by extensive scar tissue, which inhibits drug delivery and increases tumour growth. Our novel nanomedicine may be a therapy to breakdown this scar.
