On September 21, scientists at the Korean Cancer Center discovered the “sumo” gene in the human body, which has the ability to prevent the development of cancer.
In their research, the Korean scientists indicated a direct correlation between the “sumo” gene and the stability of chromosomes. The absence of this gene increases the likelihood of chromosomal instability, leading to the formation of malignant tumors.
This discovery is considered a breakthrough in cancer research and plays a crucial role in the development of non-toxic drugs for the effective treatment of this deadly disease.
However, the Korean researchers remain cautious, stating that further interdisciplinary studies are necessary and that it may take many more years before effective cancer treatment pharmaceuticals can be developed.
