Are there any pills for cancer?

In the book entitled "Not only about cycling: my return to life" there is a wise quote saying that people die. When you know this, the rest already seems unimportant. Just a trifle. But there is another truth. People live. This is an oppositely directed, but equally just, truth. People live, and sometimes they live wonderfully.

Beach of the 21st century

Cancer met in medical practice thousands of years ago and was even described by Greek and Egyptian healers. Today, it is increasingly diagnosed in patients, especially the elderly, whose cells are no longer able to work the way they worked in their youth. After all, in fact, a cancerous tumor - this is the accumulation of underdeveloped cells that can not perform their functions, but at the same time spread, hitting the entire body over time. Is this serious disease being treated now? Scientists from all over the world are engaged in the development of drugs from cancerous tumors - and are making progress in this field.

If before oncologists were more likely surgeons and simply removed the tumor, then today most often practiced chemotherapy and drug treatment. Of course, not all types of oncology are treated - there are tumors that still do not lend themselves to therapy.

The earlier the better

Alas, most tumors are diagnosed already in the late stages, when treatment with drugs does not give the desired effect. However, if we identify it in advance, in its infancy, cure it with simple conservative therapy. In many cases, the treatment ended in a victory over the tumor.

In time, screening methods help diagnose a dangerous disease. So, in Israel due to timely mammography, about 90% of women who contract breast cancer recover. Unfortunately, usually people ignore preventive studies and even anxiety symptoms.

Antiviral drugs and cancer treatment

In the course of treatment of oncology necessarily include immunomodulating drugs. First of all, doctors have long known that many viral diseases can cause the development of malignant tumors. For example, the human papilloma virus, which is diagnosed in the majority of the population, has a number of strains capable of causing cervical cancer. Medicines that activate the immune response of the patient help the body to fight the disease on its own, so in the treatment regimen play not the least role.

The drug for anemia against cancer

In 2016, scientists made an amazing discovery - it turns out that the "cancer pill" has already been invented. A drug from anemia selling on drugstores helps with cancer!

Scientists from the American Stanford University found that the iron nanoparticles that make up the drug stimulate immunity to kill cancer education due to the effect on macrophages - cells whose main task is to purify the body and inhibit the development of cancerous tumors. The drug is called "Ferumoxytol" and is already available in US pharmacies without a prescription.

The effect of the drug was tested on groups of mice artificially infected with cancerous tumors. The study showed that "Ferumoxytol" does not allow spreading metastases, suppressing cancer cells and has no serious side effects. Soon the drug will begin to be tested on cancer patients.

Development of new drugs from cancer

Pharmaceutical companies around the world today are very active in developing drugs for cancer. On the one hand, they sincerely hope to help mankind in the fight against malignant neoplasms, on the other - realize that it will bring them huge money.

Today, the main task of such developments is not to create a drug that destroys the tumor, but in the invention of drugs acting more gently and selectively. After all, so popular in medical practice, chemotherapy often so suppresses the immunity of the patient, that instead of a patient's tumor, even the flu can kill.

First of all, scientists say, the new cancer pills should prevent the cell from expanding, blocking its growth factors, and strengthening immunity, which itself will begin to destroy the tumor in a natural way.

Among the drugs that have already been approved, the following are used to treat cancer:

1. "Cadsi". Developed by the Swiss company Roche. It is a combination of the already known on the pharmaceutical market "Herceptin" and chemotherapy "Emtazina". In the United States have already decided to purchase it from their Swiss counterparts for mass sale.
2. "Fluorouracil" is an antimetabolite blocking the synthesis of DNA cells. Chlorambucil works on the same principle. In general, antimetabolites are considered universal agents against any cancerous growths, because they destroy the DNA of the cell and prevent its division. Often used in combination with platinum compounds.
3. "Imatinib", sold under the name "Glivec". A cytotoxic antileukemic drug that selectively affects cells that can cause the development of cancer tumors. The main disadvantage of cytotoxic drugs is that they, with their ability to kill dangerous cells, cause many side effects.

Since many developments are conducted on the territory of the United States, the only way for our population to get these drugs is courier delivery. But the main thing is that a cure for cancer is found.

Homeopathic remedy from Thailand

In 2013, information appeared that in Thailand there is a medicine on the basis of medicinal herbs collection, which heals oncology at any stage. This medicine for cancer has been found for a long time and is actively used by Thais. The drug is available in capsules called G-Herb. The doctor who made this medicine is no longer alive, but his son continues his work. Alas, Thai cancer pills can not help everyone - those who have already undergone a chemotherapy course, their use is not recommended by the creator himself. Nevertheless, he helped a lot of people, extending their lives for 10-20 years.

The cost of this drug is from 3,000 rubles. For 60 capsules.

Russian drug in the treatment of tumors

Given the huge cost of antitumor drugs, in Russia and Ukraine they are not always available. Therefore, Russian scientists have invented a "cancer pill", the price of which will be significantly lower than foreign counterparts.

At the end of 2016 it was reported that in 2018-2019, the newest cure for cancer is available. To date, it is being prepared for the first clinical trials, in which patients from different countries of the world, including, of course, Russians, will take part.

The main task of the drug, while bearing the working name PD-1, is to remove the "masking" from cancer cells. The thing is that for some time the immunity simply does not see the activated and growing cancer cells, because they are successfully masked. And when the disguise falls, it is much more difficult to cope with them. If immunity recognizes pathogenic agents immediately, the chance of recovery is much higher. In addition, scientists believe that the Russian analogue is much more effective than foreign drugs.

So far, the drug has been tested on animals and patients, and if it passes all tests, in 2018 it will be possible to buy these pills against cancer. Their cost will be much lower than foreign ones.
