In cancer, Dr Rockwell of Yale Univerisity, and Dr Teicher of Sydney Farber Institute, treated and are treating head and neck tumors.

Synthetic red blood cells can be used to detect vary small tumors highlighted by the halo effect of fluorcarbons. Flurocarbons provide oxygenaton to open up tumors by means of oxygen tension and reduce the size of hard tumors. It is believed that PFC's will also be very effective in targeting tumors for chemotherapy to reduce the side affects and increase therapy efficiency.
Something for you to think about. In the 1970's one-third of all blood donated in the US was destroyed because it became outdated before it was able to be used. Now the population of outdated blood is down to only 3%... Looks to me that there won't be enough surplus blood to work with... to keep up with the demands.
