Cancer treatment: A team of researchers from America has discovered a tablet that can cure cancer. Developed by researchers at City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment( success) organizations in the US. This tablet will help in eliminating solid tumors during chemotherapy. Tablets are being developed since last 20 years.
Now this tablet is known as AOH1996. There is also an interesting story behind its name. Interestingly, AOH1996 is named after Ana Olivia Healy, a girl born in 1996 who died of cancer at the age of 9. This pill has been very effective in the treatment of breast cancer and prostate cancer (male genital cancer).
The working method of this tablet AOH1996 is quite unique. It repairs tumor cells by targeting a cancerous protein known as proliferating cell nuclear antigen protein (PCNA). This tablet destroys by stopping the unexpected growth of cells through PCNA. About this tablet was first published in the famous medical journal “Cell Chemical Biology”. It was explained in detail.
The team has tested it on more than 70 cancer cells. The results showed that AOH1996 only targets cancer cells and destroys or completely destroys them without harming any healthy cells. Its next phase of test is awaited.
Linda Malakas, PhD, professor in City of Hope’s Department of Molecular Diagnostics and Experimental Therapeutics, compared it to a “blizzard that stops planes,” saying that tablet AOH1996, like them, only stopped the growth of cancer cells. Is. It is being told that the discovery of PCNA cancer prevention tablet is quite unprecedented in the medical field. Because earlier this protein was considered very inconvenient and complex for the treatment of cancer.
At the same time, the head of this research, Long Gu, has expressed optimism for even more accurate treatment in cancer treatment. He believes that tablets have been discovered to treat PCNA, now it will be of great help in preventing it. The first phase of human trials of this tablet AOH1996 has started in the City of Hope. Awaiting further updates.
