The most common cow milk will help in the treatment of malignant stomach formations. Chinese experts conducted a series of experiments, during which they found in the milk unique substances that suppress the growth of cancerous formations of the stomach.
Specialists more thoroughly studied the milk enzymes in the milk and concluded that the protein of one of them, lactoferricin B 25, significantly reduces the viability of cancer cells in malignant stomach formations-adenocarcinoma. However, the effect on the growth of cancer cells depends on the duration of action and the amount of this compound. One of the authors of scientific research is sure that their discovery will help in the near future to create unique means for effective treatment of stomach cancer.
Scientists continue to study the properties of the protein, lactoferricin B 25, to reveal the mechanism of action on atypical cells in cancers of the stomach. Soon specialists plan to start new research in the laboratory.
Earlier, Swedish scientists conducted studies that showed that milk helps in the treatment of not only this form of cancer. Malignant cells in the rectum slowed their growth under the influence of the protein lactoferricin 4-14, which was able to identify Swedish experts. During the research, scientists subjected the UFO cells taken from the large intestine in order to break the structure of DNA in them and make them similar in properties to cancerous. As experiments have shown, lactoferricin 4-14 significantly suppressed the growth of malignant tumors. At the same time, healthy cells developed without changes.
But experts are sure that this anti-carcinogenic effect of milk does not end, this product needs to be subjected to a deeper study. At the same time, scientists are sure that the opinion of doctors that milk is extremely harmful for elderly people is mistaken. It is people of elderly and advanced age who are more prone to oncological processes in the gastrointestinal tract, so regular consumption of milk will help protect the body from such diseases.
Gastric cancer is the most common form of malignant formations to date. Usually, the disease occurs without significant symptoms and early diagnosis of the disease occurs with complaints of concomitant diseases. Most often, gastric cancer is diagnosed in the late stages of the disease, when the prognosis is rather unfavorable. In the treatment it is impossible to use radiation therapy, since tumors in the abdominal cavity are not sensitive to irradiation. The main method of treatment for cancer of the stomach is an operation, after which in some cases, it is possible to use radiation therapy. However, an organism exhausted by an illness can not always withstand a heavy operation.
The discoveries of scientists allow us to hope that in the future medicine will have the means to effectively combat this disease without resorting to surgical intervention.
