Long considered the most effective cancer-fighting treatment, chemotherapy may actually make cancer worse, according to a shocking new study.

The extremely aggressive therapy, which kills both cancerous and healthy cells indiscriminately, can cause healthy cells to secrete a protein that sustains tumor growth and resistance to further treatment.

Researchers in the United States made the "completely unexpected" finding while seeking to explain why cancer cells are so resilient inside the human body when they are easy to kill in the lab.

They tested the effects of a type of chemotherapy on tissue collected from men with prostate cancer, and found "evidence of DNA damage" in healthy cells after treatment, the scientists wrote in Nature Medicine.

Chemotherapy works by inhibiting reproduction of fast-dividing cells such as those found in tumors.

Santiago, could you do me a favor? Let’s begin to switch to full-screen and I want that people understand what I am going to explain here, ok. This thing we are watching there. That thing we are watching over there is an embryonic development, all right, of an in vitro fertilization, an artificial fertilization. It is the development of embryos seen through blastocysts cultivar, that is to say, from its cultivation till it becomes a blastocyst. Today I ask biologists for help in order to confirm that everything I am going to say is true, to the planet’s biologists.

Révélations avec Virtu Pontes - Jordanie

Version anglaise du premier vidéo de ce post Exclusivité mondiale et nouvelle révélée par la chercheure Virtu Pontes. Extrait du programme enregistré le 15 janvier 2016. Nouveau courriel électronique de Virtu Pontes:  universo.vp@gmail.com (Audio: Espagnol, durée: 10 minutes et 36 secondes) TRADUCTION DU VIDÉO: Je veux révéler cette chose. Santi, peux-tu faire une faveur pour moi?

C’est le développement d’embryons à travers d’un cultivar de blastocystes, c’est-à-dire, dès sa culture jusqu’à ce qu’il devienne un blastocyste. Aujourd’hui je demande l’aide des biologistes afin de confirmer la véracité de tout ce que je dis, l’aide des biologistes du monde. Et nous entreprenons ça pour aider l’humanité au réveil, af...
