Self-assembled theranostic microcarrier targeting tumor cells with high metastatic potential

Compared with primary and local tumor, metastasis is more difficult to resect completely and remain the leading cause of death associated with solid tumors. It is therefore pressing to develop effective strategies to prevent and suppress tumor metastasis in its early stages. Heparanase overexpressio...
