Drug Turns Cancer’s Defense Against It | Health and Fitness News
Scientists are revolutionizing mesothelioma treatment by turning cancer’s own survival tactics against it. A new experimental drug blocks PRX3, a key antioxidant cancer cells use to survive stress, causing lethal buildup of damaging molecules inside tumors. In early trials, it halted disease progression in 67% of patients, shrank tumors, and extended survival—especially in critically ill patients. Remarkably, healthy cells remain unaffected, and mice without PRX3 genes live normally, proving the target’s safety. The drug, derived from a natural antibiotic, is now advancing to phase two…
