Colon Cancer: City of Hope Develops Cancer-Killing Virus to Attack It. Chemical found in BREAST MILK breaks tumours into tiny fragments that patients pass in their urine. A chemical found only in breast milk can break tumours into tiny fragments that cancer patients can pass in their urine, research suggests.

Chemical found in BREAST MILK breaks tumours into tiny fragments that patients pass in their urine

The milk sugar alpha1H, which is essential to a baby's development, has been shown to destroy tumours without harming healthy tissue. One study found 20 bladder cancer sufferers excreted tumour fragments in their urine after just six infusions of alpha1H. Further research suggests patients start to pass malignant tissue within two hours of treatment. When alpha1H binds to the fat oleic acid, they form a 'tumoricidal' complex that triggers cancerous cells into 'suicide'. Researchers from the Czech Republic hope this could be a 'gentler' form of chemo, with conventional treatments 'poisoning' cells and causing nasty side effects. The drug manufacturer Hamlet Pharma Ltd plans to test if the chemical shrinks bladder tumours and improves patient survival.

Brain-derived compounds show surprising—and beneficial—results for cancer in lab studies

Andrew Schally at the Miami Veterans Affairs Healthcare System and the University of Miami showed that a synthetic compound based on a brain hormone spurred the growth of cancer cells in Petri dishes but enigmatically had the opposite effect in mice. The surprising discovery, reported online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on Oct. 29, 2018, holds promise for cancer treatment. But it is also important because the manmade compound and others like it have shown beneficial effects in preclinical studies to treat a range of medical conditions affecting the heart, pancreas, eyes, and other organs. That's because the compounds spur the growth of new healthy tissue. Tests in animal models suggest, for example, that they could help grow new heart muscle cells after a heart attack. "I was concerned," says Schally. "These are very welcome findings," notes the VA Nobelist.

Early evidence from a trial carried out in patients with advanced, untreatable cancers who had stopped benefiting from radiotherapy has seen remarkable results. The simple injection has stopped the spreading of the deadly disease in its tracks and has even successfully reversed its growth. Maximum Tolerable Doses for Adding Cell Checkpoint Inhibitor to Standard of Care for Glioblastoma Patients – Consult QD. The survival rate for patients with glioblastoma treated with the standard of care — radiation and chemotherapy — is poor.

Gamma Tocotrienol Helps Kill Prostate Cancer Stem Cells. Killing Cancer Through the Immune System. One of the confounding characteristics of cancer has long been that the body’s usually active patrol against viruses tends to leave deadly cancer cells alone to fester, mutate and spread.

Killing Cancer Through the Immune System

The immune system has this blind spot by design – an immune system that has an ability to attack itself leads to autoimmune diseases, so as protection, it screens out its own tissue. Prostate Cancer Research Centre. At last. A drug found to kill cancer stem cells. Maybe. Scientists at Imperial College, London, Professor Agamemnon Epenetos and Professor Charles Coombes, may just have found a solution to a problem that has beset the war on cancer from the outset.

Called TR4, the drug has been developed by Trojantec. In 2012 it was confirmed beyond all argument that at the heart of almost all tumours and even cancers like multiple myeloma lay cancer stem cells. An inconvenient truth accompanied this finding. Chemo may spread breast cancer and trigger more aggressive tumors - Chris Beat Cancer. Scientists have found that, while shrinking tumors, chemotherapy opens a gateway for breast cancer cells to spread into the blood and other parts of the body.

Chemo may spread breast cancer and trigger more aggressive tumors - Chris Beat Cancer

In 2012, a groundbreaking study was published which explained how chemotherapy can backfire and boost cancer growth. In 2016, we learned that chemo causes long-term immune system damage in breast cancer patients, reducing key immune cells for at least 9 months after treatment. This year we have another study, published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, which offers more insight into how chemotherapy could cause cancer to spread, and trigger more aggressive new tumors. In the latest study, researchers studied the impact of chemo drugs on breast cancer patients and found that the drugs increased the chance of cancer spreading to other parts of the body.

Cuban Lung Cancer Vaccine. Nicotinamide Compounds, NAD+ 019307. Scientists Find Promising New Approach to Preventing Progression of Breast Cancer. By Mark Schrope Doctors currently struggle to determine whether a breast tumor is likely to shift into an aggressive, life-threatening mode—an issue with profound implications for treatment.

Scientists Find Promising New Approach to Preventing Progression of Breast Cancer

Now a group from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) has identified a mechanism through which mitochondria, the powerhouses of a cell, control tumor aggressiveness. Based on their findings, the team developed a simple treatment that inhibits cancer progression and prolongs life when tested in mice. The research team, which describes its results February 15, 2013, in an article published online ahead of print by The Journal of Clinical Investigation, hopes to proceed quickly to human clinical trials to test this new approach using drugs already in use for other conditions. Looking at Clues The TSRI laboratory of Associate Professor Brunhilde H. To do this, the group teamed up with Akemi and Takao Yagi at TSRI, who are leading experts in complex I research.

Via DailyGalaxy.com Using newly developed voltage-sensitive nanoparticles, researchers have found that the previously unknown electric fields inside of cells are as strong, or stronger, as those produced in lightning bolts. Previously, it has only been possible to measure electric fields across cell membranes, not within the main bulk of cells, so scientists didn’t even know cells had an internal electric field. Cancer Immunotherapy - CRI. The Next Great Advance in Cancer Treatment is Here Cancer immunotherapy—treatments that harness and enhance the innate powers of the immune system to fight cancer—represents the most promising new cancer treatment approach since the development of the first chemotherapies in the late 1940s.

Because of the immune system’s extraordinary power, its capacity for memory, its exquisite specificity, and its central and universal role in human biology, these treatments have the potential to achieve complete, long-lasting remissions and cancer cures, with few or no side effects, and for any cancer patient, regardless of their cancer type. Harnessing the Immune System to Fight Cancer. “Immunotherapy represents a hugely important new tool, but chemotherapy can work too and has been the backbone of the way we’ve treated patients with lung cancer,” he said. “Immunotherapy is not a replacement for that. The ‘Quantum Theory’ of Cancer Treatment — NOVA Next. In April 2011, Christopher Barker, a radiation oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, received some unusual news about a participant in a clinical trial.

The patient was battling a second recurrence of melanoma that had spread to several areas of her body. After more than a year on the experimental drug, her tumors had only gotten bigger, and after one near her spine started causing back pain, her doctors arranged for local radiation therapy to shrink the tumor and give her some relief. But the tumor near her spine was not the only one that shrank.

“From one set of images to another, the radiologist noticed that there was a dramatic change in the extent of the melanoma,” Barker says. Although only one tumor was exposed to radiation, two others had started shrinking, too. The striking regression was a very rare effect of radiation therapy, Barker and his colleagues concluded, called an abscopal response. Better Together Off-target, Spot-on.

Dr. Burzynski's Cancer Treatment. This 19-Year-Old May Have Discovered The Cure For Colon Cancer… Melanoma Tumor 'Dissolves' After 1 Dose of New Drug Combo. Cannabinoids and gliomas. [Mol Neurobiol. 2007] Cancer roundhouse - Evidence mounts that a single antibody could knock out many cancers - 2012 SUMMER - Stanford Medicine Magazine - Stanford University School of Medicine. “It’s no fun to manage a patient’s death,” says Stanford physician and researcher Ravi Majeti, MD, PhD, with grim and deliberate understatement. As a physician specializing in treating leukemia and lymphoma, Majeti is often required to perform that task with as much compassion and empathy as possible.

In the case of acute blood cancers, even in young patients who undergo aggressive treatment, the odds of surviving more than five years is less than 50-50. For those over age 65, Majeti says, five-year survival rates are about 10 percent. What’s particularly frustrating is that these atrocious odds haven’t changed in decades, says Majeti, an assistant professor of hematology and a member of the Stanford Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine and the Stanford Cancer Institute. “The primary drugs and the combinations we use have not changed in 30 years. “For the first test, we were just guessing a dosage and hoping we could observe some small effect,” Majeti says.
