An article published in the Journal of Nature by scientists at Cardiff University stated that a newly discovered T cell receptor in the immune system can be used to treat all types of cancer.
TREATMENT WHICH MAY NOT HAVE ALL CANCER
Researchers discovered the method of “eliminating” prostate, breast, lung and other types of cancer in laboratory tests. The research, which has only been tested on animals and cells in the laboratory, has given hope to the medical world.
Treatment method against all types of cancer
IT IS APPLIED AT OUR DAY
Cancer treatment, i.e. immunotherapy, is a method used today.
The genetics of T cells taken from patients’ bodies in the laboratory environment are changed, enabling them to recognize and destroy tumors. However, this method is successful in fighting a limited number of cancers rather than blood cancers such as leukemia.
Treatment method against all types of cancer
TREATMENT OF ALL CANCER VARIETIES
In his research, Cardiff team discovered a T cell receptor that can find all cancer cells, including lung, skin, blood, colon, breast cancer cells. The receptor, which can destroy cancerous cells, does not harm non-cancerous tissues. The discovery, which is stated to have “great potential”, will not be tested on people without sufficient tests.
Researchers are hopeful. He states that the discovery could lead to a comprehensive cancer treatment.
