Iranian Scienctist Produces Smart Anti-Cancer Medicine


JNN 11 April 2012 Tehran : Iranian researcher Dr. Omid Farrokhzad of Harvard Medical School has produced a smart cancer drug that is capable of targeting cancer cells in animals.

Farrokhzad and his colleagues made the drug in nano scale which enables it to distinguish and target cancer cells without causing common side effects of chemotherapy.

In popular cancer treatment with chemotherapy, both cancer cells and healthy ones are damaged.

“The method does not include chemotherapy side effects and the animal tests show that it can reach cancer cells 500-1000 percent more than chemotherapy,” Farrokhzad explained.

He also noted that the medicine will be ready to be used after the clinical studies are finished within the next five years.

Harvard has called the drug a ‘paradigm shift’ in cancer treatment.

  1. Marhabah Farrokhzad , but in five years millions the world over will say labbayk to
    to angel of death , hasten and in the meantime why don’t you initiate trials on some
    known alternatives like Hydrogen Peroxide therapy, Oxygen therapy, Apricot seeds
    extracts,Sun Mushroom extracts, Griviola , Aspergus extract etc . If these have helped peoples as reported, there must be something and shouldn’t be left hearsay.
