Stories from Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois · France

Researchers in Val-de-Marne have tested a new method of administering immunotherapy directly into tumors rather than through veins. The study involved 60 patients suffering from skin cancer with metastases. One group received classic intravenous immunotherapy while the other received the direct intratumoral treatment. The goal of this method is to target cancer cells more precisely and limit side effects. This represents the first time this specific administration method has been tested in this clinical context. The study was conducted in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois. Clinical test results published in the journal Nature indicate that intratumoral immunotherapy may increase treatment efficacy by injecting medication locally. The study suggests the method results in three times fewer serious side effects compared to standard treatments.
