EGFR and carcinoma of esophagus: To combine the therapeutic effects of IR and the radiosensitizing properties of Ru1, in this study we utilise PLGA nanoparticles to co-deliver 111In-labelled hEGF and Ru1 to oesophageal cancer cells that overexpress EGFR, demonstrating both a combinational effect and molecular targeting for this novel therapeutic combination.
