New Cancer drug given patent!

[seahawks2884]

Great news! Quote:Last week, the company received a U.S. patent for the way in which it cuts the blood supply to a tumour, preventing it from growing.

According to an Aurin Biotech news release, the oral medication accomplishes this "by preventing the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which induces capillary formation".

The news release states that "no other anti-cancer agents are known to arrest the progression of malignant tumours".

And initial tests have shown no side effects in research subjects.

“The most exciting aspect of this discovery is the unique way in which ATAC works,” McGeer said. “It starves the tumor of its needed blood supply by preventing the complement system from inducing it. A starved tumor may not disappear, but if it is arrested, it is no longer lethal. In other words, individuals doomed to die from a cancer can be rescued by this drug.”end quote

Thank you for posting. It is exciting. Everyone's life is being touched by this insidious disease in some way shape or form. Lets hope this is the game changer we so desperately need.

Aurin tricarboxylic acid has been used for some time to treat cancer but seems to be zeroing in on glioblastoma which would be awesome to have a treatment if not a cure.

This sounds like it was derived from thalidomide or at least the limited testing on certain male patients on particular cancers.
And yes it is the same drug that caused thalidomide babies, that why it was tested on male patients only.

[Fancy]

I mentioned thalidomide treatment for cancer on the vaccine thread. It is still in use for various ailments.

[hozzle]

Yes that is basically what I said about its use for certain cancer treatments meant.

If you're not interested - okay.

No you are incorrect, I am interested.
