Breast Cancer Breakthrough - A Potential Cure For Breast Cancer

A group of researchers at Auckland University’s Liggins Institute in New Zealand, which is headed by Professor Peter Lobie has discovered a potential cure for breast cancer. In their research, the group has found three molecules that are present in about 65 to 90 percent of breast cancers. The group is hoping for this discovery to be a revolutionary treatment.

The researchers show that these molecules cause poor survival within breast cancer patients because they are strong agent that allow cancer cell to survive in a patient’s body. Lobie said that they are currently working out with some methods in order to slower down the growth of these three molecules and eventually stopping the tumor growth.

In order for these molecules to stop from spreading breast cancer, Lobie’s group has inventied a liquid that is more powerful that Heceptin. If Herceptin can only saves 20 percent of breast cancer patients, the developed liquid of Lobie’s group is aiming for more. Lobie said that they have already tried this liquid to animals and seen tumors slowed down. Few more steps to go and the liquid is ready to heal humans.

The result of Lobie’s team’s research has been publicized by the Breast Cancer Research Trust and has invested millions for it. The researchers are very optimistic about their discovery. However, they also pointed out that it will still take a little longer before it can actually cure breast cancer patients. If every things go well, they are hoping that the human clinical trials will start in around two to three years time.
