Abstract
The ultimate goal of the therapy of lung metastases is to destroy all malignant cells while sparing normal ones. Liposomes represent a novel approach for the selective transport of tracers and therapeutic agents to cancer cells because of their flexibility, low toxicity, wide range of possible variants, simplicity to make, and because agents can be entrapped in them in their native states in large amounts. We have studied the biodistribution of "Stealth" liposomes in the experimental model of lung metastases in the rat.
