Palbocyclib is a new drug, which, according to scientists, is a universal cure for breast cancer. The developers said that the new tool can not only stop the growth of a malignant tumor, but also contributes to their reduction at any stage of the disease.
Specialists noted that it is possible to prescribe a new drug both in combination with endocrine therapy and as an independent treatment, the effectiveness of this will not decrease.
According to the studies, Palbocyclibe copes well with lymphoma, sarcoma, and teratoma.
The principle of the new drug is to suppress the growth of cancer cells. Palbocyclib affects the ability of atypical cells to rapidly divide by suppressing the activity of certain enzymes that stimulate cell division. According to researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, a new drug in combination with chemotherapy or endocrine treatment produces a powerful therapeutic effect.
Studies have shown that a single dose of Palbocyclob per day is safe for health, a side effect of the drug is a reduction in the level of neutrophils in the blood (white blood cells), which leads to a decrease in the body's resistance to infections. Palbocyclib has a negligible effect on normal cells. The developers of the new drug themselves assure that their remedy helps to slow the growth of a cancerous tumor or completely stop it.
Another research group from the University of Montreal developed a unique technique for treating cancer with a biological gel, which is injected into the body. Biogel destroys cancer cells and laboratory studies have confirmed its effectiveness. An anti-cancer biogel showed good results in laboratory studies on models of cancerous kidney and melanoma tumors, and scientists have already begun clinical trials involving humans.
According to scientists, if the biogel confirms its effectiveness, then a unique treatment technology will help cure various forms of cancer, while scientists with confidence give a 100% guarantee.
The new biogel is also called clever, since it is liquid at room temperature, but when it enters the human body, the liquid begins to turn into a gel. The compound experts made of chitosan (a biodegradable material that is derived from the shells of crabs, lobsters, etc.) and a special gel substance.
The therapeutic effect of the "smart" gel can be compared with the anti-cancer cells of immunity. Developers use an innovative tool for programming cells. The drug is injected with a syringe, which allows you to inject the product directly into the cancerous tumor or into the areas adjacent to it.
Such therapy provides a targeted effect on the source of the disease - other drugs are injected into the bloodstream and spread throughout the body, while the biogel allows to act immediately on the tumor. It is worth noting that this method can be considered a real breakthrough in immunotherapy.
