Nanomedicine has the potential to help personalize cancer treatments and reduce side effects of therapeutic drugs.

Now scientists report in the journal ACS Nano a new step toward seeing where certain cancer drugs accumulate in the body in order to better treat patients. They tested their drug-carrying, lipid-based nanoparticles in animals.
