Nanocancer update

Two years ago I published the first time on nano cancer treatments. It started with the following sentence. “ Many predict that nanotechnology and NBICS technology will play a vital role in achieving the National Cancer Institute goal of eliminating suffering and death from cancer by 2015.” This is a column to revisit this topic to see what has happened in the last two years. In this column I am simply supplying you with the press releases of National Cancer Institute (NCI) Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer. January 2009
