They also have high probability on transferring of protein from one side of the membrane up to the other side of it, which can lead to the disturbance of destabilization of the membrane, that will result to the leakage of electrolytes but, therefore, leading the cell to death. And this explains how Polybia-MP1 kills the malignant cells that can lead to cancer. Therefore, the person will have a higher chance to survive from

Albeit, some cases of cancer are unavoidable, however, in Ella’s case there are treatment methods the could have prevented the cancer from resurfacing as well as rid the cancer all together. “Western treatment options include surgery, which is the longest-standing and most common approach for cancer patients. Another approach is chemotherapy which requires infusions into a patient intravenously, thus the cancer cells die, however this option usually leaves the patient very weak and side effects generally follow such as fatigue, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, neuropathy, low blood counts, and one’s mental clarity is challenged.…

    Some can halt the growth of the tumor inside our body; some can prevent its spread etc. Today I would like to highlight the benefits of eating pomegranate and its effects on breast cancer. A normal cell has a tendency to divide as many times and then stop by a programmed cell death (apoptosis) when they are no longer needed; however a cancer cell loses its tendency to stop dividing, to attach to other cells, and to die by apoptosis. One of the reasons of breast cancer is the mutation in some genes in our body which are linked to estrogen exposure. Multiple medical treatments have been used so far which were targeted towards the presence of estrogen(ER), progesterone(PR) and Her2/neu receptors on the cancer cells which were used to predict the prognosis of breast cancer treatment.…
