Systemic anti-tumor immune response of doped yttria nanoscintillators under low-dose x-ray irradiation An important development in Combination Cancer therapy! The following article https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adr4008 is published in a prestigious journal. Taking a challenge from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop innovative vehicles for External Beam Photodynamic Therapy (IXPDT) in cancer treatment,we at Pact and Health were awarded a Grant-in-Aid from NCI-SBIR.
