These foods KILL cancer cells better than chemotherapy

Cancer remains one of the trickiest medical conditions to treat, with no clear solution or completely effective treatment. Because it strikes so many people, it has also been the subject of countless studies. In this huge body of research, some foods have been repeatedly identified as being effective at killing cancer stem cells. This is […]

A closer look at how obesity makes it easier for cancer cells to grow

If you want to lower your cancer risk, consider losing some weight. It’s a known fact that obesity is the second most common preventable cause of cancer and it’s also a great threat to our health. However, not much is known about how whole-body metabolism is linked to tumor formation. Experts are still trying to learn […]

Another reason to cut carbs and sugar: Cancer cells thrive on glucose

What could be more amazing than accidentally discovering a non-toxic, truly effective treatment for cancer? That’s exactly what happened when Dr. Dominic D’Agostino, an assistant professor at the University of South Florida College of Medicine, Molecular Pharmacology & Physiology, was investigating the reason why navy seals sometimes suddenly experience seizures underwater when using oxygen rebreathers. […]

Moringa seeds found to prevent the spread of breast cancer cells to surrounding tissue

Moringa oleifera, which belongs to the plant family Moringaceae, is also known as the “wonderful tree.” In Africa and Asia, the moringa tree is used in traditional medicine to cure diseases such as cancer. However, not much is known about the cytotoxic (pertains to “the quality of being toxic to cells”) impact of M. oleifera seeds on MCF7 or breast cancer […]

Chrysanthemum flowers found to have antitumor effects on prostate cancer

Chrysanthemin, which is the 3-glucoside of cyanidin, is a member of the anthocyanin class of natural products. According to an MTT assay (a colorimetric assay for assessing cell metabolic activity), chrysanthemin tends to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells, inducing dose-dependent and time-dependent cytotoxic effects in them. Chrysanthemin can be isolated from various plants […]

Cancer “kill switch” discovered: Scientists have figured out how to make cancer cells “commit suicide” simultaneously

It looks like we’re making progress in the battle against the Big C. A group of scientists has revealed that they have discovered “a way to make cancer cells kill themselves in multiple ways, simultaneously.” In a news release, Marcus Peter, the study’s lead scientist at Northwestern University, shared, “It’s like committing suicide by stabbing […]

Chemotherapy found to increase the number of tumor cells circulating in the blood, spreading it to previously unaffected areas

Chemotherapy is a pretty scary prospect, but a lot of people are convinced by their doctors that its potential benefits are worth enduring the very unpleasant side effects. Unfortunately, a new study shows that getting chemotherapy before surgery can actually increase the tumor cells in your blood and spread the cancer to other areas. This […]

Cancer hates oxygen: Research shows that a shortage of oxygen in the cells is how many cancer tumors grow

Normalizing the oxygen supply in tumors may inhibit the progression of cancer, according to a study published in the journal Nature. The scientific community has well established the mechanism behind cancer onset. Experts note that the disease stems from a single cell’s DNA mutation, either by chance or due to carcinogenic factors, which is then followed by […]
