A method for the treatment of a solid tumour

摘要

Disclosed herein is the use of two separate formulations of a particulate material, and a cellular toxin, effective to penetrate a solid tumour and induce cytotoxicity, in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a solid tumour, wherein said particulate material is in the form of a dispersion in a liquid carrier, the particulate material being maintained in the dispersed state by a steric stabiliser; wherein said steric stabiliser comprises an anchoring portion and a steric stabilising polymeric segment, wherein the anchoring portion is different from the steric stabilising polymeric segment; and wherein the anchoring portion has an affinity towards the surface of the particulate material and secures the stabiliser to the particulate material.
