Real damage effects of sperm cancer

Instead of the usual methods, the new test showed that just by using sperm to soak up the drug, put into the reproductive tract of women, cancer cells would be destroyed.

Recently, scientists at Germany's Nano Research Institute tested a new way to treat cancer in female patients. The main material used in this method is sperm - thought to be an effective tool for transporting and distributing cancer drugs and other diseases in the female reproductive system.

Using sperm "carrying" drugs into the female body

To do this, the researchers soaked the sperm into the drug solution and covered it with an iron " nanometric " helmet . At the same time, they also attached magnets to control sperm in the right direction to kill the tumor. When approaching the tumor, the iron nanometric layer will automatically open to quickly release the drug.

According to German scientists, sperm cells can be an effective tool for transporting and distributing cancer drugs and other reproductive tract diseases.(Photo: Thehealthsite).

In fact, the researchers tested the idea with cow sperm, about the same size as human sperm. As a result, 15 out of 22 tested sperm cells successfully released the drug they brought.

According to the researchers, this method is more effective in destroying cancer cells within the first 48 hours compared with traditional medicine with the same dose. However, researchers do not dare to use this method on humans.

Information about testing this new cancer treatment has made many people interested and expected.

What do experts say?

Associate Prof. Dr. Bui Cong Toan, former deputy director of the Central K Hospital (Hanoi), said that the method of using sperm to put drugs into destroy the tumor through the vaginal pathway of women, even if it brought the results It is feasible, but it is only an initial test in the laboratory, there is no clinical test on humans, so we should not be too expectant.

"I think the method is only theoretical, not practical . Medical practice necessarily goes through 3 steps: experiments on animals, then on voluntary groups, eventually bringing To each field, each ethnic group see if it is successful or not, then it will become the official treatment, but the method of testing this sperm is merely stopping in the laboratory. may not succeed, " PGS Toan said.

Professor Toan also identified that the method of using sperm that has been dyed to target cancer cells is not really new. In the treatment of cancer, doctors have used targeted treatments (target cancer cells). Accordingly, people find the difference between cancer cells and healthy cells, take drugs directly into cancer cells by introducing antibodies that only receive cancer cells, or have nano-stained cells. recognize cancer cells.

Every year, Vietnam has 126,000 new people with cancer, 94,000 deaths.

In 2050, cancer can be cured

According to Dr. Tran Van Thuan, Director of Central Hospital K, the incidence of cancer tends to increase. The world has about 32.6 million people living with this disease, every year there are 14.1 million new cases, 8.2 million people die. It is estimated that by 2030, the world will have 21.4 million new cases; 13, 3 million people die from cancer each year.

Every year, Vietnam has 126,000 new people with cancer, 94,000 deaths. It is estimated that by 2020, the number of new cases will increase to about 189,344 patients.

The total direct burden of only 6 common cancers in our country (cancer of breast, cervix, liver, colorectal, oral cavity, stomach) is 25,789 billion VND, accounting for 0.22% of total GDP. (year 2012).

Worryingly, many people think that cancer is brought to death. However, PGS Toan thinks that people can expect modern medicine.

"In 2050, cancer will become a chronic disease that can be treated like other common diseases. The world is very expecting at that time," PGS Full information.
