Cancer ! The disease of the century that today there are many people in the world. This is the concern of scientists. After a period of experimental research, recently, scientists at Stanford University in the US have successfully researched and produced "Cancer Vaccine", making humanity face a bright future completely conquering the terminal disease. This medicine.
Researchers have achieved surprising results when testing mice: after the vaccination, the cancer cells in its body completely disappeared, not only the vaccine also works. for many different types of cancer. Documents related to this work have been published in the journal "Science Translational Medicine".
According to this journal, the research group of Professor Ronald Levy of the Medical Academy, Stanford University has been working to create this vaccine on the basis of combining two immunostimulating solutions.
During the experiment, the researchers planted two cancerous limpo tumors in two locations in the mouse, and then injected a small amount of vaccine into one of the two tumor-stimulating tumors in the tumor. The results showed that, after being vaccinated, not only the tumor that was injected was destroyed but the other tumor also disappeared.
In this category of study, out of the 90 rats used in the experiment, 87 of the cancer cells completely disappeared, the success rate reached 97%, only 3 cancer cells recurred, but when 2nd injection, the cancer tumors disappeared.
This new type of anti-cancer vaccine is effective against many different types of cancer, including the naturally occurring cancer. Research staff obtained the same results when testing breast, colon and skin cancers.
In addition, they also discovered that this vaccine can also prevent cancer recurrence, prolong the life of the mouse. Unlike other cancer treatments, this vaccine avoids the method of finding the immune characteristics of each type of cancer to conduct a blockade, nor does it need to activate the entire immune system or treat it individually. immune cells of each patient.
Injecting the vaccine into a tumor or elsewhere in the body, proteins that are similar to the type of the malignant tumor are also destroyed. This means that cancer cells, regardless of diffusion and metastasis to any part of the body, are killed with just one vaccine.
The research staff said that only a very small amount of the vaccine will be effective very quickly, especially not easy to cause side effects such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, very short treatment time, and cost. quite cheap.
Of the two drugs that make up this vaccine. One has been approved for human use, the other is being clinically tested for another condition unrelated to this therapy.
Currently, the study of this new anti-cancer vaccine has entered the testing phase on the human body. If successful, it will be a great breakthrough in the history of human cancer struggle.
