Number of deaths caused by cancer is still very high. Although it can be treated with radiology or chemotherapy, but the treatment is not only kill cancer cells but also normal cells.
This led researchers to look for more effective treatments. Recent research origin Australian Academy of Science developed a cancer treatment method for molecular-based. Results of this study concluded that the key to treating cancer is to know the concept of cell death.
Cell death is a natural thing. When the cells do not die and continues to grow then it will cause cancer. the life and death of cells is actually regulated by genes. By knowing up to the level of developing breast cancer gene is more effective than treatment.
Actually, the cancer can grow due to the genes that cause the disorder properties of natural cell death (apoptosis). Because of an interruption apoptosis, occurs which these cells continue to grow uncontrollable. The cells This is called the cancer.
That is why the treatment is being developed to target the gene that makes the interference apoptosis.
In principle, this treatment works by inserting a synthetic molecules into the body which can restore the the properties owned cell apoptosis. Because of the specific nature in cells that was down, then the molecule will not affect the other cells that is both normal.
This study has shown promising results in mice. Not only that, the tests are applied to three leukemia sufferers also showed satisfactory results.
This treatment is very promising because it could be a new class of drugs which effectively cope with various types of cancer.
Differences Tumors and Cancer
Often we hear the term cancer and tumors but only a few people really understand what a difference a tumor and it was cancerous. We will try to help give a little explanation of the problem to prevent misunderstandings and errors in the use of the word.
Actual tumor is swelling which caused by inflammation or inflammation and abnormal growth of network within the body. Tumor types can be distinguished by its growth into malignant tumors (malignant tumors) and benign tumors (benign tumor).
