Chemotherapy drugs, while shown to have anti-tumor effects, tend to result in severe toxicity and widespread distribution throughout the body: notably damaging healthy and malignant cells. New research has started to focus on using bacteriophages as an individualized drug-carrying anti-cancer therapy.  The therapy would be targeted, based on genetically-modifying and chemically manipulating filamentous bacteriophages.  In Bar et al. 2008, the phages were modified to display a host-specificity-conferring ligand, and carry a cytotoxic drug by chemical conjugation. <br>
