Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women.According to the world cancer research fund and the data from the American institute for cancer research, more than 50, 2018 new cases.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the culprit, in the development of most cervical cancer because it interferes with the molecular pathways, lead to uncontrolled cell growth.
Even a small amount of the presence of HPV DNA, will increase the risk of cervical cancer.While not all of HPV infection can lead to cervical cancer, but people still very hope to find a effective method of treatment of HPV infection in order to eliminate the potential risks.It is hoped that this treatment can also eliminate cervical cancer cells provide a safer choice.
At present, people can by surgery, chemotherapy or cryotherapy (extremely low temperature treatment) to remove abnormal cells, so as to prevent the proliferation of cervical cancer.Although these programs effectively, but it has a very bad side effects and risk of severe tissue damage.
From ordinary pectin extracted from the immature fruit of a FIG tree has been shown to effectively treat skin lesions caused by HPV human beings, such as warts.This makes the treatment of infection of HPV cervical cells of potential candidates, and not have the risk of tissue damage.To have a better understanding of the FIG pectin biological active ingredients and action mechanism will help to drug development.
Brooke advanced analysis of the technical support for scientists to develop new cancer treatments.Researchers recently using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrum (MS) technical analysis for the chemical composition of the FIG pectin, to understand the possible role of HPV deactivation mechanism.
The analysis for the first time found a possible - with the chemical composition of HPV activity, or inhibits uncontrolled cell growth and promotes cancer cell death.It is important that on the controlled human cells observed that it has no toxic effect.
Brooke is very proud to support the academic researchers study the potential sources of unusual, to help prevent, treat and cure HPV related cervical cancer.
