Focal Medical is a clinical stage, platform oncology company.

Their local drug delivery platform amplifies a drug's therapeutic index over systemic administration by delivering 10 to 100 times the drug directly to the target solid tumor, shrinking tumors, while virtually eliminating all systemic exposure and the harsh side effects of chemotherapy which affects the entire body.
