Phage in cancer treatment - Biology of therapeutic phage and screening of tumor targeting peptide.

Phage has a versatile role as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. By acting as an appropriate recombinant drug, this phage has every potential to replace existing laborious, high capital investing therapies that may at many times result in failure or drastic side effects. One of the most significant challenges would be identifying tumor homing peptides. Although a few have been discovered, the most effective ones are yet to be determined. This therapeutic method plays a significant role in tumor therapy with high accuracy and efficiency, irrespective of the target location.
