LONDON: British Doctors have successfully trialed and tested a pair of drugs that can shrink and even eliminate some breast breasts cancers in less than two weeks.
The “surprise” findings were shared at the European Breast Cancer Conference. This cure would lead a new era of breast cancer treatment where some women would not have to go pain staking chemotherapy at all.
The drug that targets a specific weakness found in every one in ten breast cancers was tested on 257 women. The test was conducted to study the effect of the drug on cancer however in a surprise result it completely removed the cancer in some cases.
The drug known as Herceptin targets a a protein that fuels the growth of breast cancer in some cases. Herceptin penetrates inside the cell to kill the protein HER2.
11% cancers were completely removed and another 17% were reduced from 1-3 cm to less tham 5 mm. Study was conducted at NHS hospitals in Manchester.
Although there is a risk of HER2 cancer to return the drug, after further testing, may eliminate the need of chemotherapy for some women.
