Magnets made by soil bacteria offer hope for breast and prostate cancer

[Pcnmyy]

Hello friends,

I came across the following news article on a new promising therapy to treat breast and prostate cancer using magnets made by soil bacteria and viruses that specifically attack cancer cells:

Any thoughts?

Interesting approach for directing oncolytic viruses to a tumor. They use en external magnetic over the tumor site to draw the magnetized virus to it.

I think that could work for a local tumor in the prostate, or a few metastases, but not if there were many metastases diffusely spread throughout the body. There may be some way to do it that I haven't thought of.

Tumors are often biopsied so why can't they be injected with the virus?

[Javelin18 in reply to Graham49]

It seems that most of the current advances are about targeting the tumor with treatment and avoiding other healthy tissue. I think when the tumor is local to the prostate it's much easier to target physically. Cryoablation, SBRT, radiation seeds all are physically targeted treatments. It seems that injecting oncovirusrs directly into the tumor using MRI guiding would also work.

Once it becomes metastatic, a systemic targeting method, such as antigen targeting of radiopharmacueticals, small molecules are T cells are needed to find the diffuse and possibly undetected sites.

Thank you Javelin for your answer. I missed it when I composed my reply to Graham.

In my mind, I have the same question. In Brachytherapy low or high dose radiation implants are placed close inside the body or right next to the cancer cells. Why not inject the virus right into the tumors guided by MRI or other scanning mechanisms?Do any of the experts on this forum have an answer? Thanks.

Enzalutamide without a prescription - onlinecheappills.com/enzalu... Enzalutamide immediately halted the doubling of my PSA level and has, in 3+ months, reduced the PSA from approximately 400 to 5.7! I am feeling MUCH better and functioning MUCH more normally.

I surely hope that this approach works even if it is curative for only localized PC .
