    Abstract: An improved method for treating breast cancer using zinc chloride as an alternative to radiation is provided. Zinc chloride is a deeply penetrating topical medicine that kills cancerous tissue equivalent to radiation. Radiation is time-consuming, costly, and can cause severe radiation-related adverse events, including secondary cancers, lung, and heart damage. An analysis of 20,000 women showed that radiation was able to reduce mortality by 13.2% from breast cancer, but this improvement was offset by radiation mortality from adverse events of 21.2% [Favorable and unfavorable effects on long-term survival of radiotherapy for early breast cancer: an overview of the randomized trials, Lancet 2,000:355: May 20, 2000]. This invention allows the surgeon to destroy residual malignant tissue that surrounds a breast cancer lumpectomy wound equivalent to radiotherapy without the mortality of radiation.

    Abstract: A composition comprising a liposome comprising a first phospholipid comprising a C14-C19:0 fatty acid and a C3-C15:0 fatty acid with a c-terminal carboxyl or a carboxaldehyde group; a second phospholipid comprising a C14-C19:0 fatty acid and a C14-C19:0 fatty acid and a sterol. The first phospholipid is preferably a phosphatidylcholine. The second phospholipid is preferably HSPC and the sterol is preferably cholesterol. In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the respective ingredients is 2-3:5-6:2-3; preferably 2:6:2; or 3:5:2, respectively. The invention also relates to the use of this composition in the targeting of M2 macrophages.
