Nanocells cancer combination therapy acts as chemotherapy as well as anti-angiogenic drug

... The ability of the `nanocells' to wreak complete destruction of cancerous cells is aided by the cancerous cells themselves. "Tumour vessels suck things into their environment and the nanocells get trapped in the tumour bed due to their large size," he elucidated. The size of the nanocell plays a crucial role. ...
