HOW TO KILL CANCER
Thousands of scientists
all over the world are hell bent in creating a deadly bullet that would
become the pot of gold of all time.
An Australian team is pursuing a more effective approach by aiming at
making it chronic. To make money is obviously the name of the game, not
to get rid of cancer.

The Sydney based bioscience company EnGeneIC Pty Ltd has released
details of their research, which has been published by Nature
Biotechnology. Their method consists of penetrating cancer
cells with
chemotherapy drugs, effectively overcoming the resistance these cells
normally display. This would allow them to kill cancer cells directly
where
they are, instead of applying chemotherapy in the usual way, which
results in the killing of not only many cancer cells but also healthy
ones. Another advantage of the proposed method seems to be the
possibility to deal with the small number of cancer cells that usually
survive conventional chemotherapy. These cells become resistant to
future treatment and eventually contribute to the patient's death.
