Benefits of Dental Borrowing for Cancer
1. Helps Kill Colorectal Cancer Cells
In in vitro studies, DRE was found to induce selective programmed cell death, or apoptosis, in over 95 percent of colon cancer cells. In in vivo studies using mouse models, researchers found that when given orally, DRE can help slow the growth of these cells by over 90 percent. Treatment with DRE triggers multiple cell death pathways in tumor cells that are activated.
2. It can cure pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer currently has a 100% mortality rate, so any potential treatment is more than welcome. Rectal therapy has been shown to induce autophagy (the body’s natural self-destruction mechanism) as well as apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells in humans, without any significant effect on healthy cells. Researchers see this as an encouraging development in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
3. Suppresses the growth of stomach cancer cells
