By 2030 deaths from pancreatic cancer are expected to exceed colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer, trailing only lung cancer and making it the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the US. Unlike other common cancers of the preceding decades, pancreatic cancer has seen little to no improvement in outcomes; rapid progression, difficult surgery, and resistance to systemic chemotherapy have continued to thwart attempts to improve treatment. BioSapien's solution is the Medichip, a implantable, biodegradable, drug-eluting mesh targeting several treatment-resistant features of pancreatic cancer by delivering high-concentration chemotherapy to unresectable structures (i.e. major vasculature) and poorly perfused, fibrotic, tumor tissues which have thus-far dramatically limited the success of surgery and chemotherapy. Interested in learning more? If so, our CEO Khatija A. would love to hear from you! #innovation #cancer #STEM #3Dprinting #biosapien #bioali #biosalem #BSPN
