New chemotherapy cocktail promises to keep breast cancer on the other side of the fence
Think about the purpose of a fence. It keeps things you want in your yard in and things you don’t want in your yard out. Now a researcher from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine has discovered a way to keep breast cancer outside of your body’s fence.
Dr. Seth Corey decided to think outside of the box and mixed a drug that is normally used to treat leukemia called dasatinib with a popular breast cancer treatment drug called doxorubicin. The result was an amazing chemotherapy cocktail that slowed the inhibition or metastasizing of breast cancer by 50 percent. So what the drug does is prevent the spread of the disease to the other vital organs of the body which is what can prove fatal.
Dr. Corely’s findings were recently published in British Journal of Cancer and he along with the rest of the cancer community are extremely excited and optimistic about these findings.
