Scientists are expected to use anthrax toxin to treat bladder cancer!

　　15 (XINHUA) -- Scientists from Purdue University have found that anthrax may help fight bladder cancer, according to the CDC, which kills about 16,000 new people each year in the United States, and bladder cancer is one of the more expensive cancers to treat the current treatment for bladder cancer is invasive, patients usually need to sit for several hours at a time, their bladder will be filled with drugs to kill cancer cells and tumors, and bladder cancer is also one of the most likely to relapse cancer In the study, researchers successfully killed bladder cancer cells and bladder tumors by combining anthrax toxin strains with a growth factor researcher R Professor Claudio Aguilar said: 'The new method we have developed to effectively kill bladder cancer cells without damaging normal bladder cells in patients is essentially equivalent to the development of a more targeted approach that targets cancer cells and does not damage cells.' bladder tissue has its own protective layer, under the role of anthrax drug mixture, it can protect beneficial healthy cells, but does not protect and cancer cells, using this new drug preparation, the researchers in a few minutes can observe the drug targeted to kill bladder cancer cells effect, the researchers said, the new hybrid in the treatment of bladder cancer can show significant therapeutic effect, its treatment is very fast and effective, to improve the treatment of bladder cancer patients is important then researchers tested in dogs with no treatment options and had bladder cancer, and found that the drug was effective in reducing the size of tumors in dogs without any other side effects The researchers believe similar treatments could also help treat other cancer patients, including lung cancer and skin cancer, although they will need to be confirmed in later studies.
