Cancer researchers have embarked on different scientific studies to provide a lasting solution to Cancer. A whole of victims of disease and loved ones have been glued to different TV health channels, websites, blogs, amongst others; to have first hand information about lung cancer news and possible cancer cure.

Cancer cure will soon be the new black of our lives. Below are the discoveries we believe could lead to cancer cure or provide a lasting solution to the disease.

Starving Cancer Cells

Researchers and scientists have the knowledge that most cancer cells make use of glucose to aid/fuel their uncontrolled growth. An international team of scientists and researchers has discovered a protein if switched off could stop the disease.

Isolation of Omnipresent Proteins or Antigens

Researchers have spotted rare ‘flag’ proteins that act as immune system targets and are displayed on the surface of all of a patient’s tumour cells, wherever they might be in the body.

Normally they are shielded from the immune system, or missed because rapidly evolving cancers present too many constantly changing targets.

Once the omnipresent proteins, or “antigens”, are isolated, potent immune system cells called T-cells can be employed as missiles to zero in on them and destroy the cancer.

Immunotherapy Discovery

Immunotherapies – treatments which harness the power of the immune system to fight cancer – have been making headlines around the world.

These powerful new weapons are exciting because once the immune system has ‘locked-on’ to a cancer cell it’s persistent and ruthless in taking it out. For patients in whom they work, Immunotherapies can produce long-lasting effects. Some have even suggested they could lead to cancer cure.
