The discovery of the latest methods of cancer treatment carried out by a group of scientists investigation therapeutics, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. A group of scientists is trying to observe a weak strain of drag power spore the bacterium Clostridium novyi NT on tumor suffered by six patients. The result of the test is pretty astounding, it turns out, the tumor tissue is able to be killed by the bacteria Clostridium novyi NT effectively. To researchers in the medical education Institutions believe that the bacteria Clostridium novyi NT can be a prima donna of future cancer treatment

bacteria capable of consuming and wrecking sek tumors and is not harmful to healthy tissue sufferers

Clostridium Novyi NT is itself a close relative with the disease-causing pathogen bacteria, botulism, Clostridium butulinum. However, the strain that is used as the object of research above has undergone a series of genetic engineering which reduces the virulence of the bacteria.
Dr. Ravi Murthy, a leader of the study group on cancer treatment with bacteria are added, that bacteria c. novyi NT anaerobic is able to grow well and kill cancer cells, which in the circumstances of a particular size and contain low oxygen. "Because the bacteria are anaerobic, she will die when exposed to the healthy tissue that is rich in oxygen. Until the bacteria resulting in impossible other diseases in patients "stated Dr. Ravi
Of the research report, five of the six patients were alive, while other patients died of causes unrelated to the study, a few months after receiving an injection of bacteria. Paper and the results of the research were presented at the annual symposium on Clinical Interventional Oncology in Hollywood, Florida.
