In the United States, human trials of so-called "anti-cancer pills" are being conducted, which are likely to "destroy" dense tumors.
This is reported by Sky News, informs UAINFO.org with reference to TSN.
A new anti-cancer drug AOH1996, which has been under development for 20 years, is currently undergoing preclinical trials. Previous studies of the drug have shown that it kills large cancerous tumors while leaving the body's healthy cells unaffected.
"Our anti-cancer pill is like a snowstorm that closes a key air hub and closes all flights only for planes carrying cancer cells," explained the drug's developer, Professor Linda Malkas.
Researchers have found that AOH1996 can inhibit the growth of cancerous tumors in animals, so they are now in the first phase of human clinical trials.
During preliminary studies of the drug, scientists found that it is effective in the treatment of breast, prostate, brain, ovarian, cervical, skin and lung cancers.
Scientists are hopeful that this breakthrough could help develop more targeted cancer drugs in the future.
