Destroy cancer cells in ten days. This statement, which looks more like a slogan for a weight loss product is an important step to ensure Japanese scientists at the University of Health and Hygiene have developed a treatment that can destroy cancer cells in just ten days.
The progress is encouraging and surprising novel, because nanotechnology has a role, in fact, we have the first use of the famous "carbon nanotube" in a medical application.
treatment is therefore combined with the ingestion of a drug is added to improve laser technology performance using the above carbon nanotube, which under the microscope, of a substance in powder form like a superfine fiber.
This nanotube drug aid to reach more effectively into the cell. Experiments with mice showed that cancer cells undergo a laser treatment for 15 minutes a day ceased to exist within ten days.
The next step is, of course, test their method on large animals, and then proceed to the treatment of oncological diseases in humans.
