Researchers Use Bubbles in Cancer Treatment and Drug Delivery
University of Michigan researchers hope to use gas bubbles like corks to block oxygen flow to tumors, or to deliver drugs.// The process of blocking blood flow to a tumor is called embolization, and using gas bubbles is a new technique in embolotherapy.
