Nanomedicines : Medicine of the future
Although constantly improving, conventional cancer treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery) can sometimes be ineffective in treating certain cancers, especially those that are recurrent, are not diagnosed sufficiently early, are metastatic, or are very aggressive cancers, such as glioblastoma.
Our Product
The nanoparticles developed by AlphaOnco, called magnetosomes, are produced biologically, by magnetotactic bacteria. These bacteria use magnetosomes as a compass to swim in the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field.
The stages of treatment
The figure below summarizes the main stages of treatment that will be required when treating humans:
- Detection of the tumor;
- Intratumor administration of magnetosomes;
- Imaging to verify that magnetosomes are in the tumor.
Several sessions of application of an alternating magnetic field to heat magnetosomes in the tumor and thus induce antitumor activity.
Benefits of treatment
- Presence of magnetosomes exclusively in tumor tissue;
- Localized and controlled treatment;
