“Gas-Trapping Structures Enhance Tumour Treatment Outcomes”
Recent advances in cancer treatments have been made possible by the development of gas-trapping structures. These structures are designed to trap and concentrate gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, within a tumor. This has been shown to enhance the efficacy of cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Gas-trapping structures are made up of a porous material, such as a polymeric foam or a sponge-like material. The pores of the material allow for the trapping of gases, which then become concentrated within the tumor. This increased concentration of
