CANCER CURE BREAKTHROUGH!! A combination treatment of a new drug Combretastatin derived from the bark of an Africa bush willow and a sophisticated form of radiation therapy could be the breakthrough to CURE CANCER! This good news confirms what we have been saying all along - that treatments that directly target cancers (by destroying the blood vessels that supply the tumours with vital nutrients) and spare normal tissue will be the cancer therapies of the future. The destruction of the tumours is completed by attacking them with radiation carried into the cells by antibodies similar to those used by the bodys immune system to destroy infection. The drug attacks the tumour from the inside out, while the radiotherapy attacks from the outside in. The combination therapy completely destroyed cancerous tumours in 85% of mice to whom it was administered. More than nine months after the treatment was stopped the animals were still clear of any sign of cancer. In isolation, each treatment could never completely destroy all the cancer cells. But in tandem they are a potent force which the scientists believe can produce a long-term cure. The research was led by Professor Richard Begent, head of oncology at the Royal Free Hospital, who plan to carry out trials in humans. If these trials achieve a similar success rate as those with the mice, they would pave the way for the treatment to become widely available, possibly within five years.
