In a book entitled “Not Only About Cycling: My Return to Life,” there is a wise quote saying that people die. When you know this, the rest already seems unimportant. Just a trifle. But there is another truth. People live. This is the opposite direction, but justly true. People live, and sometimes they live wonderful.
21st Century Beach
Cancer was encountered in medical practice thousands of years ago and was even described by Greek and Egyptian healers. Today, it is increasingly being diagnosed in patients, especially the elderly, whose cells are no longer able to work like they worked in their youth. Indeed, in fact, a cancerous tumor is an accumulation of underdeveloped cells that cannot fulfill their functions, but at the same time they spread, affecting the whole organism over time. Is this a serious disease being treated now? Scientists around the world are developing drugs for cancerous tumors - and are becoming increasingly successful in this field.
Previously, oncologists were more likely to be surgeons and simply removed the neoplasm, but today chemotherapy and drug treatment are most often practiced. Of course, not all types of oncology are treated - there are tumors that still cannot be treated.
The sooner the better
Alas, most tumors are diagnosed in the late stages, when drug treatment does not give the desired effect. However, if you identify it in advance, in its infancy, it is quite easy to cure it with conservative therapy. In many cases, treatment ended in victory over the tumor.
Screening methods help diagnose a dangerous disease in time. Thus, in Israel, due to timely mammography, about 90% of women with breast cancer recover. Unfortunately, usually people ignore preventive research and even disturbing symptoms.
Antivirals and cancer treatment
Immunomodulating drugs must be included in the course of oncology treatment . First of all, doctors have long known that many viral diseases can cause the development of malignant tumors. For example, the human papillomavirus, which is diagnosed in the majority of the population, has a number of strains that can cause cervical cancer. Medicines that activate the patient’s immune response help the body fight the disease on its own, therefore, they play an important role in the treatment regimen.
Cancer Anemia
In 2016, scientists made an amazing discovery - it turns out that the "cancer pill" has already been invented. Anemia medication sold at the pharmacy counter helps with cancer!
Scientists from American Stanford University have found that iron nanoparticles, which are part of the drug, stimulate immunity to destroy cancer by influencing macrophages - cells whose main task is to cleanse the body and inhibit the development of cancerous tumors. The medicine is called Ferumoxitol and is already available in US pharmacies without a prescription.
The effect of the drug was tested on groups of mice artificially infected with cancerous tumors. The study showed that Ferumoxitol does not allow metastases to spread, inhibits cancer cells and does not have serious side effects. Soon the drug will begin to be tested in cancer patients.
Development of the latest drugs for cancer
Pharmaceutical companies around the world are currently very active in developing cancer drugs. On the one hand, they sincerely hope to help humanity in the fight against malignant neoplasms, on the other, they understand that this will bring them a lot of money.
Today, the main task of such developments is not to create a medicine that destroys the tumor, but to invent drugs that act more gently and selectively. Indeed, chemotherapy, so popular in medical practice, often suppresses the patient’s immunity so much that even the flu can kill a patient instead of a tumor.
First of all, scientists say, new cancer pills should prevent the cell from growing, block its growth factors, and also strengthen the immune system, which itself will begin to destroy the tumor in a natural way.
Among the drugs whose use has already been authorized, the following are used in the treatment of cancer:
- Cadzil. Designed by the Swiss company Roche. It is a combination of Herceptin, already known on the pharmaceutical market, and Emtansin, a chemotherapeutic drug. The United States has already decided to purchase it from Swiss colleagues for mass sale.
- "Fluorouracil" is an antimetabolite that blocks the synthesis of DNA cells. Chlorambucil works on the same principle. In general, antimetabolites are considered universal remedies for any cancerous tumors, because they destroy the DNA of the cell and prevent its division. Often used in combination with platinum compounds.
- Imatinib, marketed under the name Gleevec. A cytostatic anti-leukemia drug that selectively affects cells that can cause the development of cancerous tumors. The main disadvantage of cytostatics is that they, with their ability to kill dangerous cells, nevertheless cause many side effects.
Since many developments are carried out in the United States, the only way for our people to get these drugs is courier delivery. But most importantly, a cure for cancer has been found.
Homeopathic medicine from Thailand
In 2013, information appeared that in Thailand there is a medicine based on the collection of medicinal herbs that cures oncology at any stage. This cancer medicine has been found for a long time and is actively used by Thais. The drug is available in the form of capsules called G-Herb. The doctor who made this medicine is no longer alive, but his son continues his work. Alas, Thai cancer pills are not able to help everyone - those who have already undergone chemotherapy, the creator himself did not recommend their use. Nevertheless, he helped a lot of people, extending their lives by 10-20 years.
The cost of this drug is from 3,000 rubles. for 60 capsules.
Russian drug in the treatment of tumors
Given the enormous cost of anticancer drugs, they are not always available in Russia and Ukraine. Therefore, Russian scientists have invented a "cancer pill", the price of which will be significantly lower than foreign counterparts.
At the end of 2016, it was reported that in 2018-2019, the latest cancer medicine is available. Today it is being prepared for the first clinical trials, in which patients from around the world will take part, including, of course, Russians.
The main objective of the drug, while bearing the working name PD-1, is to remove the “masking” of cancer cells. The thing is that for some time the immune system simply does not see activated and expanding cancer cells, because they are successfully masked. And when the disguise subsides, dealing with them is much more difficult. If the immune system recognizes pathogenic agents immediately, the chance of cure is much higher. In addition, scientists are confident that the Russian counterpart is much more effective than foreign drugs.
So far, the drug is being tested on animals and patients, and if it passes all the tests, in 2018 it will be possible to purchase these cancer pills. Their cost will be much lower than foreign.
