Israel developed a new method of treating cancer: tumor, high temperature sniper locked

Israel Tel Aviv University, Department of biomedical engineering to Cyril · gannuo-is developing a new cancer treatment method, you can kill the tumor, and avoid harm to the surrounding tissue, and to minimize side effects.

In the forthcoming the Nano medicine magazine, gannuo-describes this innovative therapy: using high temperature sniper cancer cells while not hurt innocent people, guarantee a healthy tissue around the harmed.

With the target can be attached to the above specific tumor markers, gannuo-crafted these nanoparticles and antibody mixture can lock down the location of the tumor and combined with it.

Once the nano-particles bound cancer, researchers shall impose an external magnetic field, the tumor is located in a specific part of the local temperature.

Gannuo said, the magnetic field can do in their operation under high temperature, which is what they used to kill cancer "weapons".

This mixture of nanoparticles and antibody special "cocktail" simple and safe to use by injection into the blood by the way, and with the waste to be washed to in vitro, no residue, and thereby reduce side effects.

Minimally invasive and fast is the therapy's two great advantages, the entire treatment process only needs 6 hours, you can implement outpatient clinic, patients can return to the home then rest for physical rehabilitation.

The treatment method has been proven effective against cancer.

Cancer can in almost any part of the development of the body, such as breasts or lungs. Use the same from his lab developed a special feedback process, the entire process can be further optimized to apply to individual treatment.

If clinical trial is successful, the technology can become an important means of cancer treatment.

Gannuo said, their use of nanoparticles has been United States Federal food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval to determine tumor corresponding markers and antibody, it on almost any type of tumors are valid.
