In Egypt, successfully treated cancer using gold

In Egypt, the scientists have been successful in the treatment of cancer using gold. As reported in Cairo at a specially convened press conference at the National Center for Scientific Research Dr. Mustafa al-Sayyid, clinical trials have shown the efficacy of gold nanoparticles in preventing the spread of malignant tumors.

According to him, they were able to stop the growth of cancer cells using nanoparticles of gold delivered to the site of the tumor with a laser. At the same time, he said, the impact is only on the affected cells, healthy cells no harm there. Currently, scientists are conducting clinical trials on animals and, if fully confirmed the absence of side effects, will begin testing on sick people.

According to Mustafa al-Sayyid, in the case of the effectiveness of the use of nanoparticles can have a decisive role in the treatment of cancer of the liver, kidneys, spleen.

Gold nanoparticles because of their unique physical and chemical properties are of great scientific interest. In modern medicine, gold has already begun to be used in the diagnosis and treatment of several diseases, including cancer. In addition to the fairly common chemotherapy, which uses radioactive gold colloidal solutions, today there is a brand new modern method, which provides an introduction to the tumor tissue microscopic gold nanocapsules and their exposure to infrared rays. In this case, the cancer cells die and healthy tissue remains intact.

In animal experiments, gold nanoparticles stop cancer due to atrophy of the blood vessels of the tumor. However, human trials have not yet been carried out.
