These 5 Israeli advances could transform cancer treatment according to : jta

That's why we need tailor-made models to fit the treatment to the disease."Gazit is focusing on how to develop targeted treatment of cancer cells using hematopoietic stem cells — stem cells used in cancer treatment because of their ability to divide and form new and different kinds of blood cells. "The cells of the microenvironment don't have the mutation that causes cancer cells to become cancer cells – yet they do things they are not supposed to do," she said. Here are five promising areas Israeli researchers are studying in their quest for better cancer detection and treatment. Together they provide a glimpse into the remarkable scope of cancer research being conducted by internationally renowned scientists across Israeli institutions. Many of the world's most effective cancer treatments have roots in Israeli research, sometimes going back decades.




The team at Massachusetts General Hospital hope their discovery could prevent Skin cancer and even slow the appearance of ageing. "Skin cancer rates in the UK are going through the roof... any research into ways that we can prevent people from developing skin cancer in the first place is to be welcomed." Dr Fisher said the lack of progress in skin cancer - the most common type of cancer - was a "very significant frustration". Matthew Gass, from the British Association of Dermatologists, said the study was a "novel approach" to preventing skin cancer. The drug tricks the skin into producing the brown form of the pigment melanin in tests on skin samples and mice.
