Bacterial toxins for the treatment of cancer
The use of live bacteria for the treatment of cancer has a long history, but problems with toxicity have limited its value in medicine. The field has recently been revitalized with the introduction of genetically modified bacteria, as well as the use of isolated toxins and proteins from the bacteria. These bacterial components are being studied individually and in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs in the treatment of cancer.

Metastasis Suppressors
Evidence is emerging that the loss of function of metastasis suppressor genes is an important factor in the development of metastasis (the spread of cancer from a primary site). Developing drugs that restore metastatic suppressor gene expression represents a new therapeutic approach to cancer treatment.
