A group of British scientists made a breakthrough in modern oncology. Researchers led by Professor Ray Wood of the University of Mildeksa created a drug for injection, which is able to stop the spread of cancerous tumors, and even later to reduce their total number.

According to scientists, the new drug is particularly effective for the treatment of complicated forms of cancer, like breast cancer, ovarian, colon and pancreas. The vaccine was created based on the discovery that some of the most aggressive tumors produce hormones that are usually found only in pregnant women.

Human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG) is a determining factor when using a pregnancy test – namely the presence of this hormone has a positive result.

Professor Wood has found that some form of hCG is also produced when certain types of bladder cancer, as well as half of the cases, pancreas, exactly as in the tumors of the ovary, colon and breast cancer.

With the new drug, there is a reprogramming of the human immune system, which subsequently began to destroy the hCG. This process leads to a significant reduction of tumors, as well as in blocking the spread of metastases in the body.

The vaccine has already passed the first stage of clinical trials and has yielded positive results. It assures the professor Ray Wood, a new unique drug came on the market within five years. Wood believes that only in the UK alone, the vaccine each year will save tens of thousands of sick people.
