Researchers are exploring ways to target necrosis therapeutically to improve cancer treatment outcomes. Strategies include:
Enhancing Immune Response: Leveraging the inflammatory response to necrotic cells to boost the body's immune attack on the tumor. Inducing Necrosis: Developing drugs that specifically induce necrosis in cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. Combining Therapies: Using combinations of treatments to induce necrosis and enhance the overall anti-tumor effect.
