Scientists say PBOX-15 is capable of killing cancer cells in the body of blood cancer patients (CLL). And what's more special is that this chemical compound doesn't affect other healthy cells.

Scientists tested the chemical compound PBOX-15 on 55 samples. Results showed that PBOX-15 could interfere with the structure of cancer cells in the human body with CLL, and then activate a mechanism to help kill cancer cells, including cancer cells. The letter has resistance to current chemotherapy measures.

Mark Laura, a Dublin University medical expert, judged that PBOX-15 is very promising in treating CLL. However, this compound is currently in the early stages of research and still needs time to conduct experiments, observations, and learn more about possible side effects when using this method to treat cancer. blood letter. /.
