Cancer is a horrendous disease that has taken the lives of millions of people, which is why it’s so huge that a group of Israeli scientists have just spoken out to say that they have found a cure for it!

Over 18 million new cancer diagnoses occur each year, and there isn’t anyone on this planet who has not been affected by cancer in some way. This announcement could change all of that forever.

“We believe we will offer in a year’s time a complete cure for cancer,” said Dan Aridor of Accelerated Evolution Biotechnologies Ltd, the company that found this cure. “Our cancer cure will be effective from day one, will last a duration of a few weeks and will have no or minimal side-effects at a much lower cost than most other treatments on the market.”

Dr. Ilan Morad, the CEO of the company, says that the cure multi-target toxin, or MuTaTo, that is effectively an antibiotic for cancer. The cure relies on “phage display” technology, which is still being developed at this time.

Phage display technology makes it possible to identify certain types of cells so that DNA coding can then be used to develop targeted treatment of things like proteins, antibodies or peptides.

“We were doing what everyone else was doing, trying to discover individual novel peptides for specific cancers,” Dr. Morad said, adding that it was then that they decided to go for something even bigger.

Morad went on to say that cancer treatments usually fail because the cancer mutates, rendering treatment that was once effective, obsolete. Their treatment casts a wider net, targeting cancer cells of different types, so even cancer can’t mutate enough before it is caught and killed.

Trials have been going well so far, as the company has successfully treated human cancers in mice and is in the beginning stages of bringing their treatment to human trials.

“Our results are consistent and repeatable,” said Aridor.

We can only hope that this treatment will put an end to cancer once and for all!
