'Cancerous tumours can be treated in just two hours with this new method'

India TV News  

New York: Researchers have developed a new, non-invasive method that can kill up to 95 per cent of cancer cells in just two hours. Within two hours, up to 95 per cent of the targeted cancer cells are dead or are estimated to be dead, they said. “Though there are many different types of cancers, the one thing they have in common is their susceptibility to this induced cell suicide,” said Matthew Gdovin from University of Texas in the U.S. Mr. Gdovin tested his method against triple negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive types of cancer and one of the hardest to treat. “All forms of cancer attempt to make cells acidic on the outside as a way to attract the attention of a blood vessel, which attempts to get rid of the acid,” said Mr. Gdovin.
