Associate Professor Alfredo Franco-Obregón (centre) and his team examining changes in cancer growth after exposure to magnetic fields in combination with different concentrations of DOX. The magnetic-assisted approach selectively enhances drug uptake into cancer cells, potentially reducing the toxic side effects of chemotherapy on healthy tissues. This could lead to improved treatment outcomes, better quality of life, and encourage earlier treatment for breast cancer patients concerned about side effects.
