Kidney cancer usually does not show symptoms until the disease is spread to other organs. This type of cancer is also often found on the stage are difficult to be cured.
Technical chemotherapy is the latest big show in the hope to extend the age of the patients with advanced cancer stadium. However, this therapy can also be very harmful considering the effects of poison.

In the latest findings on kidney cancer, experts of the University of California Davis, United States, successfully identified a way to impede the recovery mechanism by the genes in cancer cells. This is expected to increase the success of kidney cancer chemotherapy and make it more effective and more can be tolerated.

“Tuesday is famous cancer will be their ability to quickly create copies of themselves. Termutakhir Although the treatment successfully slows the process, the treatment does not tend to heal and may have side effects,” said the leader of the research, Robert Weiss, in which temuannya publicize journal Cancer Biology and Therapy, edition of December.

“We want to find ways to make chemotherapy effective as possible with the lowest dose,” he said.

Working with the latest treatment methods damage the stability of cancer cells in the level of DNA, which reduces their ability to reproduce themselves. The researchers, who know that the p21 genes have an important role in restoring the DNA of cancer cells and exploring the potential benefits for the treatment, trying to identify the order that can disrupt the point.

The team is to test thousands of substances and 12 of them can be found rekombinan binding protein, p21. The pilot shows three additional materials that reduce expression of p21, and impede the ability of kidney cancer cells to repair themselves and make it more responsive to treatment that damage DNA.

To study the future, the research team will focus on three candidates to ensure that the substance of the lowest concentration that may make them still more effective and to optimize the content antikankernya. Research will then test the material with standard treatment in the example of animals before finally tested in humans.
