The potential use of theranostic bacteria in cancer

Alexandros G.Sfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader The potential use of theranostic bacteria in cancer Μέσω Journal of Cellular Physiology Abstract Conventional chemotherapy approaches have not been fully successful in the treatment of cancer, due to limitations imposed by the pathophysiology of solid tumors, leading to nonspecific drug uptake by healthy cells, poor bioavailability, and toxicity. Thus, novel therapeutic modalities for more efficient cancer treatment are urgently required. Living bacteria can be used as a theranostic approach for the simultaneous diagnosis and therapy of tumors. Herein, we summarize the currently available literature focused on the advantages and challenges for the use of theranostic bacteria in cancer therapy. View on the web Inoreader.
