Tumor Subtype Determines Therapeutic Response to Chimeric Polypeptide Nanoparticle–based Chemotherapy in Pten-deleted Mouse Models of Sarcoma

Abstract

Nanoparticle-encapsulated drug formulations can improve responses to conventional chemotherapy by increasing drug retention within the tumor and by promoting a more effective antitumor immune response than free drug. New drug delivery modalities are needed in sarcomas because they are often chemoresistant cancers, but the rarity of sarcomas and the complexity of diverse subtypes makes it challenging to investigate novel drug formulations.
