Scientists still do not know exactly how cancer cells are formed and how they lose their differentiation. One of the newest treatments for cancer is called angiogenesis. Angiogenesis was recently discovered by Dr. Moses Judah Folkman and seems like a promising cure for localized cancers and tumors. In other words, these injections cause cancers to shrink without harming the cancer-laden person with virtually no side effects. Folkman surmised that to grow, tumors need blood and send out an unknown substance that coaxes nearby blood vessels into sprouting new capillaries.
Angiogenesis prohibits blood vessels from sprouting and the tumor is choked off.
This new treatment has proven effective in human cancers grafted and cloned in both mice and rabbits with no apparent side effects. Another popular treatment for blood-specific cancers such as leukemia s, myeloma s and lymphomas is bone marrow or stem cell transplants. Transplanting these fluids from person to person can be just as risky as organ transplantation and the body can reject the solutions. Perchance if some of the healthy bone marrow or stem cells could be withdrawn from the patient himself, cloned in a controlled laboratory and given back to the patient intravenously rejection could be completely avoided. With the mastery of cloning technology, essentially anything is possible.
