Company Summary

Traditional chemotherapy is highly effective against cancers and cost-effective, but limited by toxicity. New targeted drugs can limit the toxicity caused by traditional low-cost chemotherapy; however, these therapies are costly and difficult to develop. ChemoFilter, the next paradigm in cancer treatment, will allow for the use of traditional chemotherapeutics in a targeted manner with less toxicity and higher doses to better fight cancer.
