A multidisciplinary team from the Biogipuzkoa Institute for Health Research, the Department of Health and Osakidetza [Basque Public Health Service], in collaboration with the University of the Basque Country (EHU) and the Donostia International Physics Centre (DIPC), among others, has developed and patented a new chemotherapy formula that has proven to be highly effective against an aggressive type of liver cancer with a very poor prognosis known as cholangiocarcinoma. The study, published recently in the prestigious Journal of Hepatology, opens up new therapeutic possibilities not only for treating cholangiocarcinoma, but also other solid tumours that are resistant to conventional cancer treatments
