that is derived from domestic herbal ingredients.
According to the research team, they induced cancer in mice and injected the aforementioned drug into the tumors. After a period of treatment, the tumors disappeared, and the mice returned to good health. The research team is currently developing a project to test the drug’s effects on human cancer patients.
Mr. Ban stated that initial evaluations indicate the drug shows promising cancer treatment effects, particularly because the type of cancer induced in the mice was solid tumor cancer, one of the most challenging types to treat.
The drug has not yet been named, but Mr. Ban mentioned that this research follows the success of the Cadef drug, a product that has been commercialized and is known to help limit cancer metastasis and improve the health of cancer patients following radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy treatments.
