MR targeting directs cancer-killing cells
By Pearl Toh
Conventional cancer treatments using chemotherapy drugs can suffer from nonspecificity. New research shows MRI can direct cancer-killing cells to target sites. Not only does this technology target cancer kills, it enables anticancer agents to reach tumor sites that are normally inaccessible.

Head and neck MRI study predicts chemo response
By AuntMinnieEurope.com staff writers
Contrast-enhanced MRI can predict which head and neck cancer patients will respond to chemotherapy, according to a new study from the University of Manchester in the U.K. If successful, the technique could help triage head and neck cancer patients, saving money and improving outcomes, according to a study in Oral Oncology.
