Enzymes in Cancer Treatment & Prevention

Cutting-Edge Cancer Therapy 

Enzymes extracted from food sources like pineapples and papayas, among others, are showing tremendous promise in the treatment and prevention of cancer. Enzymes have been used for many years in Europe to treat cancer and other diseases. Numerous European studies on enzyme therapy have been commissioned by the European Union in an effort to establish policy on enzymes for cancer treatment. Here are some of the findings: Read more here:

Bacon, Processed Meat Liked to Pancreatic Cancer

Researchers in Sweden suggest that eating an extra 50g of processed meat each day — that a couple of slices of bacon or a link of sausage — could increase your risk of pancreatic cancer by 19 percent.

The risk of pancreatic cancer increases by 38 percent for people who eat 100 grams a day and 57 percent for people who eat 150 grams a day of processed meat, compared to those who eat none. Researchers analyzed data from 11 other trials, involving 6,643 patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The study, published in the British Journal of Cancer, concludes that, “processed meat consumption is positively associated with pancreatic cancer risk. 

Red meat consumption was associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer in men. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.”  

Pancreatic cancer has a relative survival rate of about 5.5 percent, making it one of the most lethal types of cancer. Processed meat has been linked to a host of other health problems.  

Sara Hiom, director of information at Cancer Research UK, said:  
“The jury is still out as to whether meat is a definite risk factor for pancreatic cancer and more large studies are needed to confirm this. But this new analysis suggests processed meat may be playing a role.

“We do know that, among lifestyle factors, smoking significantly ramps up the risk of pancreatic cancer. Stopping smoking is the best way to reduce your chances of developing many types of cancer and other diseases as well.”

Treat Cancer Without Surgery

New cream could treat cancer without surgery

January 12, 2012

ROME, Jan 12 – Italian scientists have discovered a painless, non-surgical skin cancer treatment using radioactive cream that could treat cancer in as little as two hours.

According to media reports in recent days, the breakthrough treatment was tested on 700 patients with basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, less aggressive forms of skin cancer, with a success rate of 95 per cent after one to three treatments.

While basal cell carcinoma – caused by exposure to harmful UV rays – accounts for about 80 per cent of skin cancer cases, it isn’t metastatic, meaning it doesn’t spread to other organs in the body. But treatment usually requires surgery that can leave scars, particularly problematic on the face.

While trials are currently being held in Germany and Australia, researchers believe that the cream could be available for market within two years.

Other non-surgical treatments already used to treat skin cancer is a light-induced technique called photodynamic therapy (PDT), in which chemical cream is applied to the skin cancer tumour. The Guardian in the UK reports that it is usually suitable for lumps that do not penetrate too deeply into the skin. – AFP
