Cancer NanoHerb aims to innovate and commercialise a line of herbal medicine nanoformulations and all-natural bioactive ingredient oral formulae by incorporating nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems. These nanoformulations are specifically targeted for the supportive and integrative care of cancer patients, providing the tools to help them withstand the strain of conventional treatment and improve the patient-reported outcomes, including their quality of life and treatment experience. The first product in the line is an all-natural ingredient, a plant-based oral solution formulated specifically for the management of oral mucositis and xerostomia for head and neck cancer patients.
