Healthy Herbal Solution, researchers from Rice University, Baylor College of Medicine, and Texas Children's Hospital has conducted trials for the treatment of brain tumors. In experiments usingheat, the tumor cells of human brain cancer in animals injected successfullydimusnahkan.Tes using nanoshell, the nanoparticles are activated using nanoshell lightsare designed to destroy tumors with heat gliomas. This method is used to avoid side effects of drug and radiation therapy.
The researchers reported that more than half of the animals that received treatment withnanoshell to overcome glioma tumors did not show signs of cancer until three monthsafter treatment. Kemudiandilaporkan trial results in the journal Neuro-Oncology.
"The first round of tests on animals showed that one time, photothermal therapy withnanoshell can be a reasonable option for patients with gliomas," said Jennifer West,professor of biotechnology
and the Head of the Department of Bioengineering, RiceUniversity.
As quoted from MedIndia, February 6, 2011, researchers injected mice nanoshell thenwaited for 24 hours for the nanoparticles accumulated in tumors.
Then, the laser beam near-infrared light - which is not harmful to healthy tissues are emitted into the tumor for three minutes. Nanoshell then convert laser light into heat thatcan kill tumors.
Of the seven animals that get nanoshell treatment, the cancer reappeared in threeanimals. Four other animals were free of cancer and even up to 90 days after treatment.
