New Drug could Treat Most Aggressive Form of Lung Cancer
Scientists have found a new drug that could possibly treat small cell lung cancer, the most destructive form of the disease. Currently, this drug is undergoing clinical trials and could potentially be used to treat patients who have tumours that are not affected by chemotherapy treatment. The findings were published in the Clinical Cancer Research and could help in finding out those patients who have greater chances to respond to the treatment.  The medication works by analyzing energy production in cancer cells as a means to prohibit tumour growth.
Professor Caroline Dive, the leader of the research, said that small cell lung cancer has a dim prognosis and there has not been any significant breakthrough in its treatment. The drug named AZD3965 – has not yet been experimented with in small cell lung cancer.
The quality of life has undoubtedly become rich with these major scientific breakthroughs, however; still further research and testing needs to be done before these findings can ever be implemented for the well-being of society
