New ideas can eliminate cancer cell's metastasis

Researchers have found a new direction, opening new hopes for those who are unfortunate to suffer from cancer of evil monsters.

>>>New discovery of the metastatic mechanism of cancer cells

In the latest study published in the prestigious Journal of Cell Reports, experts from the Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium) found a way to treat cancer in the future.

Professor Pierre Sonveaux - who is in charge of the project along with his colleagues, has become the first people in the world to find a chemical that prevents the metastasis of cancer cells.

This amazing result comes from the study of the dangerous nature of cancer . Most scientists today agree that cancer is increasingly dangerous because cancer cells have metastasized.

Simply understood, metastasis is the ability of cancer cells to move to other parts of the body and invade . Usually, the lungs, liver or body cavities are the preferred metastatic site of the tumor because there are many small blood vessels, easy to attack and suppress healthy cells.

After metastasis, cancer reduces the patient's immunity, releases toxins and competes nutrition with other organs, causing people to die slowly and die.

According to statistics, more than 90% of patients die from cancer due to this cause. Therefore, if you want to completely defeat this incurable disease, all need to start from here.

The mechanism of cancer cell metastasis

Superoxide free radicals are responsible for the tumor's metastasis process

Professor Pierre Sonveaux and his colleagues have developed ideas from that. In the laboratory, they conducted research and learned about the mitochondria of cancer cells . For healthy cells, this is considered a 'power plant' that provides all the energy for cell activity.

But for cancer cells, mitochondria are the culprit for abetting the metastatic tumor faster and stronger in the body.

Dr. Paolo E. Porporato - a member of the project has found a compound that determines the metastasis of cancer: superoxide free radicals (O2-). The higher the amount of this substance produced, the faster and stronger the metastatic tumor grows.

The difference between mitochondria of normal cells and mitochondria in cancer cells

To prevent this free radical production process, Pierre Sonveaux and his team tested MitoTEMPO on mice with cancer cells.

This is an antioxidant compound used to treat Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. After a period of monitoring and testing, the team found: although the initial tumor still developed, cancer cells in mice did not have metastasis to the lungs as usual.

MitoTEMPO test in mice showed extremely positive results

This positive result opens a bright prospect in the future. If MitoTEMPO passes clinical trials in the near future, it is likely that this study will be included in human cancer treatment.

At that time, patients with malignant cancers can be completely rescued if combined with the onset of tumor initiation in parallel with preventing them from metastasizing.
