Scientists Achieve a Major Breakthrough in Cancer Treatment: What is the Role of Cells?

Scientists have discovered a “key” that can reverse the process of cancer cells, marking a significant breakthrough in medical research. Researchers in South Korea have successfully reverted cancer cells to a healthier state.

This discovery has enabled researchers to identify the critical moment before normal cells irreversibly transform into diseased cells, thereby halting the progression of the disease, according to the British newspaper Daily Mail.

Dr. Tiffany Truso-Sandoval, a retired oncologist, stated: “These discoveries offer a new approach to cancer treatment by reprogramming cancer cells rather than eliminating them.”

She added: “To better understand this intermediate state, imagine water boiling at 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius).”

She continued: “There is a brief moment when the water is neither fully liquid nor fully vapor, similar to how cancer develops within a short window where cells are both healthy and cancerous at the same time.”

Traditional cancer treatments focus on removing cancer cells through surgery or destroying them using radiation or chemotherapy. However, this new research appears to reveal a third approach that could allow cancer patients to regain healthy cells.
