Effective combination of biocompatible zinc oxide nanocrystals and high-energy shock waves for the treatment of colorectal cancer

Abstract Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most diagnosed tumor worldwide, with a very high mortality rate, second only to lung cancer. Current treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy, are not effective enough and show several limitations. Among the emerging strategie...
