New step of nano cancer treatment

British scientists say they have taken a new step in the method of using nanotechnology to treat cancer, whereby nanoparticles containing anti-cancer genes will be correctly delivered to infected cells. .

The therapy is currently only tested successfully on mice, and is expected to complete testing for the human body in the next two years.

According to Andreas Schatzlein Cancer Research Institute in London, this is the first time nanoparticles have been used in cancer treatment.

Each nanoparticle is fitted with an anti-cancer gene and is directly and correctly delivered to cancer cells, without affecting the remaining healthy cells.

When they reach the diseased cell, these genes will stimulate cells to produce proteins that can destroy cancer cells.

Experts say the new method is particularly useful for people who have cancer that cannot be operated by cancer cells located near vital body parts to life such as the brain or lung./.
