A group of medicinal scientist in Argentina, announced today that they discovered a new method today that stops the growth of tumors within the organism. Its one of the biggest breakthroughs on investigations of skin cancer.
These scientists discovered that the tumors produce more in quantity of the protein galectine -1 than normal cells. By neutralizing this protein they observed that 95% of the speciments (rats and such) showed no more growth for their tumors. Gabriel Rabinovich was the lead investigator and will be given speeches on the technique in the US, UK and Japan.

Ahh.. Health breakthroughs are always good. :: smiles ::

im sorry actz..you will have to search this on ur local newspaper online or something..coz i got this off an article in a local newspaper here..not on the internet.

Well hopefuly this is the breakthough they have been looking for to cure cancer not that I know anyone who has or has died of cancer but I know its terrible for those that do... Always good news is good to hear and for this I say HURRRAAAYYY ARGENTINA !!!!

I could care less which country the idea originates, all I care is that its been introduced to the public. However, for someone living in the same country I'm sure it's a different story.

I searched BBC Health thinking it would be there but it isn't. I've also searched Google and found nothing promising.
