Abstract

This invention is directed to methods of treating solid tumor cancers, particularly refractory cancers by administration of two pluralities of microparticles, one comprising drug-carrying microparticles sized to lodge at the tumor preferably in the capillary bed of the tumor and the other comprising non-drug-carrying microparticles sized to lodge in the arterial system servicing the tumor so as to embolize the tumor.
