Improving Drug Delivery to Tumors
Cancer treatment is often handicapped by poor delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs to the tumors. Using agents to lower tumor interstitial fluid pressure concomitantly with the drugs can improve patient outcome.

The p53 tumor suppressor gene
The p53 gene performs an essential function in its normal role as a tumor suppressor. However, it is found in a mutated form in over half of all types of cancers. A fuller understanding of p53’s activities can lead to novel approaches to cancer treatment.

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.

Mouse Models in Cancer Research
The use of mouse models is an essential part of the drug development process. Much has been learned about the human cancer condition, and many drugs have been developed to treat cancer through testing with mice. However, the results of mouse studies should be treated with caution, and conclusions not drawn until human clinical trials are completed.
