Abstract
Improving the safety and efficacy of chemotherapeutics will help to enhance their effects. Here, the authors show that intraperitoneal delivery of nanoparticle conjugates of a potent toxin prolongs tumor inhibition and survival as compared to cisplatin in advanced-stage and platinum-resistant ovarian cancer mouse models.
