Scientists Announce Major Breakthrough After Discovering ‘Switch’ That Reverses Cancer
by
A major breakthrough is sending shockwaves through the medical and scientific communities after scientists announced they have discovered a “switch” that reverses cancer cells.
Researchers in South Korea revealed that they were able to revert cancerous cells back to a healthier stage by activating this molecular-level “switch.”
The discovery has allowed scientists to tap into the critical moment before normal cells irreversibly transform into diseased cells.
By doing so, they halt the progression of cancer and then reverse it.
Scientists around the world have been hailing the discovery as a major breakthrough in the fight against cancer.
Dr. Tiffany Troso-Sandoval, a retired oncologist formerly at New York City’s Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center who was not involved in the study, said in a statement:
“This finding provides a new approach for cancer treatment by rewiring cancer cells rather than eliminating them.”
“To better understand this hybrid state, you can think of water boiling at exactly 212°F,” Troso-Sandoval explains.
“There’s a brief moment when water is neither fully liquid nor fully steam.”
This state is similar to how cancer development includes a short window where cells are both healthy and cancerous, she explained.
Traditional cancer treatments focus on removing cancer cells through surgery or destroying them with radiation or chemotherapy.
However, the new research appears to have uncovered a third approach that could allow cancer patients to regain their healthy cells.
Dr. Troso-Sandoval said this new approach could lead to therapies that are less toxic than radiation and chemotherapy.
