Alice Tang, MD, and Trisha Wise-Draper, MD, PhD, with the patch. "It looks like a Band-Aid, but it's actually a nanoparticle patch," said Wise-Draper. "It holds a chemo-therapeutic in it called cisplatin, which is something we commonly give to head and neck cancer patients through IV. The Band-Aid will sit on top of the tumor and then the cisplatin will be absorbed into the tumor directly." Photo / Colleen Kelley
