Found A New Breakthrough, Conqueror Of Cancer Genes
Cancer is still a disease so troubling. In the United Kingdom, he ' killed ' more than 150 thousand citizens every year. The number of cancer sufferers in Indonesia is not less. Every day, there are 40 to 45 new cases of cancer.
But now, scientists have discovered a new breakthrough to save the cancer survivors. They managed to ' conquer ' cancer-causing genes.
As is known, for this there are genes that if mutated will support the growth of certain cancers in the body. Cite the Daily Mail, about one-third of cancer that is caused by genes.
It spreads faster and difficult to treat. Cancer caused by genes, whom pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer. The gene that is successfully ' treated ' by researchers from the United States.
"People have tried to treat the gene and haven't managed to slow him down. Now, it can be done. We
are very excited and believe this discovery has real implications for
the patient, "said Kevan Shokat from Howard Hughes Medical Institute at
the University of California.
However, not yet publicized what existing content in drug exterminator cancer genes.
Clearly, by turning off cancer genes, researchers hope the cancer cells will shrink and eventually disappear. The drug in question, claimed to have no side effects like other cancer therapy. Pain, nausea, hair loss and no need to be felt again.
"This drug only works on certain cells with the mutation. This is what sets it apart with every other cancer drugs, "said Shokat. So far, the drug is already tested on cancer cells in the laboratory.
Three more years, he will be tested in humans. Targeted drug, it could be sold on the market in 2013. Therefore, researchers had to ensure its security.
According
to Dr. Frank McCormick, leader of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute,
the success of creating a cure for cancer genes is a brilliant
invention. He believed, it would be developed to address similar genes that cause other types of cancer
