Coadministration of a Tumor-Penetrating Peptide Enhances the Efficacy of Cancer Drugs
Open accessAbstract
Penetrating Attack on Tumors: While considerable research effort in oncology is focused on the design of new cancer drugs, an important but relatively understudied research area is the development of methods that optimize the delivery and tumor penetration of existing cancer drugs. Previous work has characterized a peptide (iRGD) that selectively targets and penetrates tumor tissue by virtue of its specific interaction with tumor blood vessels. Now, studying mouse models, Sugahara et al. (p. 1031 , see the cover) show that coinjection of the iRGD peptide increases the tumor penetration and antitumor activity of several cancer drugs, including the cytotoxic agent doxorubicin and the therapeutic antibody trastuzumab (Herceptin), without increasing their harmful effects on healthy tissue. Importantly, these effects did not require chemical conjugation of the cancer drugs to the peptide.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
