Several compounds found in grapes, strawberries and nuts can prevent melanoma (a skin cancer type). One of this miraculous natural antioxidants with anticancer properties named Resveratrol can be found in red grapes skin.  Scientist from Texas University concluded in their recently studies that in combination with  contained by strawberries and nuts resveratrol will make a difference in fighting various types of skin cancer.
Soon patients will benefit from food supplements and lotions based on mixes of resveratrol and D-glucarat calcium.

Using chemistry and nanotechnology, researchers at Harvard and Brigham and Women’s Hospital designed a super-sized Cisplatin molecule able to deliver toxic platinum atoms to tumors while proving nontoxic to kidneys.  The research was conducted on laboratory animals.
Cisplatin is a powerful anti-cancer drug used in first-line chemotherapy but with limited use because of its toxicity. The team designed a polymer what would bind to Cisplatin, making it wrap itself into a 100 nanometers ball, too large to enter the kidneys, lungs, liver and spleen.  Once the molecule reached the tumor it …

A new type of drug designed to kill non-Hodgkin lymphoma tumor cells has been developed by researchers from the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation. The new drug targets an oncogene known as BLC6 which functions as a master regulatory protein and also causes the most common form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
“It’s a protein that controls the production of thousands of other genes. Because of that, it has a very profound impact on cells and is required for lymphoma cells to survive and multiply,” said Dr. Melnick1).
Dr. Melnick  and his colleagues were …

Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center studied the effectiveness of sulforaphane1) in targeting and killing breast cancer stem cells on both mice and cell cultures with promising results.  In the study the sulforaphane extracted from broccoli sprouts prevented new tumors from growing.
“Sulforaphane has been studied previously for its effects on cancer, but this study shows that its benefit is in inhibiting the breast cancer stem cells. This new insight suggests the potential of sulforaphane or broccoli extract to prevent or treat cancer by targeting the critical cancer …

GS45, an antibody-like molecule able to target tumor cells in ovarian cancer patients while leaving healthy cells intact, was recently isolated by Gregory Adams, Ph.D., co-leader of the Developmental Therapeutics Program at Fox Chase Cancer Center, and colleagues.
The GS45 molecule targets a receptor called the Müllerian Inhibiting Substance Type II Receptor (MISIIR), which is scarce in normal tissue, but more abundantly present on the surface of human ovarian cancer cells.
“A general problem with targeted therapies is that many of the targets found on cancer cells are also found on normal …
