Cancer really sucks! This has been a universal sentiment across the majority of the population. For decades, cancer has been probably the worst news a person can receive. While treatment for cancer does exist, it is not exactly a cure, which has many people wondering; when will there finally be a cure? Well, as it turns out, we may not be far off from an answer.
The cure for cancer has been a debated topic for a very long time, and many thought it an impossibility, but recent breakthroughs seem to have proved them wrong. American scientists have found a way to destroy cancer cells by stimulating molecules with infrared light. This does form something called plasmon, which causes the membrane of cancer tumors to rupture. The researchers have found what they called the “molecule jackhammer” to be effective on mice, and are now working to translate this method onto humans. According to Euronews.net, the scientists say this may take at least another fifteen years unfortunately, but they claim they want to make sure there are no toxic side effects on humans. Another big thing scientists are working to prevent is cancer cells from becoming resistant to the treatment methods. Dr. Nisharnthi Duggan says the cells are unlikely to build a resistance to the treatment, due to the fact they’re vibrating the cells out of existence, but it’s still good to make sure.
So, what does this mean for the future? Obviously, this bodes well for the future of cancer patients. If they are able to stabilize this treatment on humans, cancer could very well become far less issue than it currently is, and I am sure many people around the world breathe a sigh of relief at that since the threat of having to say goodbye to their loved ones has suddenly been reduced a great deal. This is a very good thing, as as we previously discussed, a cancer diagnosis is one of the worst news someone can receive, so knowing we are ever closer to being able not to have to worry about it as much is wonderful for many people.
As someone who has had more experience with relatives with cancer than I would like, I think this is a great breakthrough in science. Hopefully, the CIA does not get to these researchers like the rest of the cancer researchers, but as of now, things are looking bright for the future.
