Not long ago Israeli researchers accidentally discovered a new remedy against cancer . A series of "accidental" discoveries, scientists continue to Albion, who have identified new genes that cause breast cancer.
According to British media reports, new drugs on the basis of these findings should be on sale within five years. The mechanism of action of drugs differs substantially from the principles of the actions of all currently existing anti-cancer drugs.
The last five years, researchers have spent studying DNA structure 104 patients diagnosed with breast cancer, the type of cancer was identical in all - estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer. This name has received this type of cancer due to the fact that estrogen is fixed to proteins located on the receptors, thus replenishment of the tumor occurs. The principle of operation of many modern medicinal preparations is based on reducing the makeup of the tumor formed. But more recently, malignant tumors have become insensitive to the effects of this medication in the treatment. Eventually, after the surgery the cancer comes back again.
According to one of the developers of the theory Anita Danber genes were discovered by accident. They are located very close to the estrogen receptors and completely independent of them. Thus, a new drug can be used in cases where the usual treatment is powerless. In the near future, scientists plan to look more closely into gene C6ORF211 Responsible for tumor growth. And on the basis of these studies are expected in the near future tests of a new drug.
It is worth noting that the data Research work was carried out with the support of the UK health care system and an endowment at the London Institute of Cancer Research.
