Scientists at City of Hope are developing a pill called AOH1996, which aims to destroy all solid cancer tumors. The pill targets a mutated form of the protein proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), which is crucial for DNA replication and repair in a variety of tumours.
So far, studies have shown that the pill can suppress tumor growth and selectively kill cancer cells by disrupting their normal reproductive cycle. The first phase of a human clinical trial is already underway. The findings were published in the journal Cell Chemical Biolog
This development could be extremely important for cancer patients in Suriname, as it could increase the possibilities for effective treatments. Currently, cancer treatments such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy can often have profound side effects and are not always fully effective in eradicating the disease.
This new pill has the potential to specifically kill cancer cells without affecting healthy cells, potentially leading to fewer side effects. If the clinical trials prove successful, this pill could be a revolutionary addition to the available treatment options for cancer patients in Suriname and worldwide. It could make treatments more effective and improve patients’ quality of life.
However, it is crucial to point out that the pill is still in the pilot phase and more research and testing is needed before it can become widely available.
