HORIZON-MISS-2025-02-CANCER-03: Innovative surgery for affordable multi-modal therapies in locally advanced/metastatic cancer patients

About

  • Preoperative therapy combining hyperthermia and cisplatin aims to shrink tumors, reduce recurrence risk, and improve surgical outcomes in colorectal cancer. Limitations of current Therapy -

  • Systemic toxicity**:** Nephrotoxicity and hematological complications from cisplatin exposure.

  • Inconsistent drug uptake: Physiological barriers limit tumor penetration.

  • Heat-induced resistance: Some cancer cells develop thermotolerance.

    Nanotechnologies are designed to enhance this approach by optimizing drug delivery, minimizing toxicity, and amplifying therapeutic efficacy.

Topic

  • Cancer Mission: HORIZON-MISS-2025-02-CANCER-02: Understanding the effects of environmental exposure on the risk of paediatric, adolescent and young adult cancers
