Scientists discover a substance that prevents the spread of cancer

Sharjah 24 – Ona:

Scientists from the University of Basel, Switzerland, have discovered a substance that inhibits the formation and spread of metastases or secondary foci of malignant tumors that appear in the final stages of cancer.

In a scientific study, scientists say that 90% of cancer deaths occur in carriers.

When cancer cells spread into the blood in new tissues, far from the primary tumor, they break down and form clusters of "clusters" responsible for the spread of the disease.

The main role in the formation of these groups is due to the genetic control mechanism that allows separate cancer cells to look like stem cells to help them adhere to the tissue and divide, and the destruction of these clusters into individual cells has inhibited the mechanism, the researchers said.

The researchers tested 2486 medical preparations approved by the Food and Drug Administration and discovered that the inhibitory substance Na + / K + ATPase, when tested in laboratory mice, analyzed the clusters of separated cells and would then be analyzed. tested on patients with breast cancer.
