Destruction of defective stem cells could be a way to combat bowel cancer in the earliest stages of the disease, British experts say.

Immature cells are involved in the repair of intestinal tissues, but failures in this process can lead to cancer. Scientists believe that the detection and destruction of such defective stem cells at the earliest stages of development can be a powerful strategy to fight bowel cancer. Perhaps, this technique can be used for other types of cancer, the researchers hope, as the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years Pannochka. Net Specialists do not yet know how to accurately identify defective stem cells, but they are sure that they are the cause of cancer, if they are not destroyed in time, as such cells reproduce themselves and grow like a weed in the body, stimulating the onset of a cancerous tumor. It is planned to conduct additional studies within the next three years, scientists said..
