The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health ( ARPA-H ) has awarded $45 million to rapidly develop sense-and-respond implant technology that could slash U.S. cancer-related deaths by more than 50%. A prototype of an implant that a Rice-led team is developing to treat ovarian, pancreatic and other difficult-to-treat cancers. The "closed-loop" implant will be able to continuously monitor a patient's cancer and adjust their immunotherapy dose in real time.
