Patients with all types of cancer, including severe forms of leukemia, have received a new chance for recovery!
Typically, the drugs used today to treat leukemia cause various side effects, such as lethargy, fatigue, and others. Of course, modern drugs used in Israel have minimal side effects, but they are still present.
Just a few days ago, representatives of the Israeli pharmaceutical company "BioSight" announced the successful completion of interim trials of a new non-toxic drug.
The drug has an astonishingly rapid destructive effect on cancer cells, and it is completely harmless. This is a revolutionary method, a true breakthrough in chemotherapy!
Oncologists at Top Ichilov are ready to implement the revolutionary technology
The drug will allow patients suffering from leukemia to avoid the negative effects of chemotherapy. Moreover, its effect on cancer cells is much more effective and reliable than that of other medications.
The final results will be announced in December at the annual congress of the American Society of Hematologists. However, it is already clear: this is a true breakthrough in the treatment of leukemia, and soon the new drug will be available to Israeli hematologists. Preparations are already underway at Top Ichilov to implement the new technology into the treatment process.
In parallel with testing the drug as a treatment for leukemia, the possibilities of its use for other types of cancer are actively being researched, and positive results have already been achieved in this direction. There is a high probability that in the near future, this new development will become one of the main tools in the fight against various forms of cancer.
How does the new technology work?
The drug works according to a scheme called "Trojan Horse" by scientists. It is named so because cancer cells perceive the new drug as the amino acid asparagine, which they cannot produce but need. Instead, cancer cells absorb another amino acid that has a destructive effect on them. At the same time, the drug is completely harmless to healthy cells.
