Actium Biosystems LLC
Thermal nanomedicine to treat bladder cancer
Executive Summary
The Actium Cancer Treatment System from Actium Biosystems LLC is designed to improve bladder cancer treatment by selectively heating chemotherapeutic agents within the body to drive them more deeply into tumors. Studies confirm that as much as four times the amount of drug reaches the cancer tumor with the addition of hyperthermia, compared with the standard of care for chemotherapy that does not use any heat and thus treats at the normal body temperature.
