SYRIAN RESEARCHER DISCOVERS NON-INVASIVE BREAST CANCER TREATMENT

Thanks to Dr. Mohammed Al-Shaikh Yusuf, Head of the Syrian Cancer Society (CSS) women diagnosed with breast cancer can now undergo a non-invasive treatment. The treatment which was discovered by Dr. Yusuf and has been approved by the American Cancer Society (ACS) targets the tumour cells in advanced stages of breast cancer.  Its results have so far been startling with decreased treatment and reduced expenditure. The research was conducted on 90 women with inoperable breast cancer, out of which 46 per cent had no signs of tumour after receiving only three doses of the medication, and the remaining 54 per cent received the full course of medication, 6 doses, out of which 66 per cent had no clinical signs of the tumour. This new treatment could be the beginning of a series of treatments that will eventually make tumours curable just like any other disease.  Dr. Yusuf’s research will be published during the May 2009 American Cancer Society conference in Orlando, USA.
