Drugs and biologics that target specific molecules or proteins on cancer cells are being developed.
It is hoped that this research will lead to the development of new types of cancer drugs that do not enter the cell but block oxygen consumption at the surface of cancer cells.
Drugs may be given with the radiation therapy to make the cancer cells more sensitive to radiation.

HAI is more effective than systemic chemotherapy in the treatment of metastatic colon cancer since higher drug levels are achieved at the sites of metastatic disease.
Most cancers have some degree of drug resistance with many patients not responding to the chemotherapy most commonly prescribed for the tumor type.
