Researchers from the University of Missouri presented revolutionary anti -cancer therapy, which combines tea extract with radioactive nanoparticles of gold. This innovative method was successfully tested on animal models, in particular, on the mice with which prostate cancer cells were transplanted. Amazing results showed that after a month of treatment the tumors began to decrease, and in some cases completely disappeared.

The main element in this method is the Gallat of Epagallocatechin (EGCG) is an active substance present in tea. Studies have shown that this compound has the ability to attach to cancer cells, which makes it an ideal candidate for targeted delivery of drugs to a tumor. In combination with gold nanoparticles, EGCG creates an effective delivery system that accurately directs therapeutic agents to the right place.

Gold nanoparticles in therapy have several functions. Firstly, they work as carriers of radioactive isotopes, which, using ionizing radiation, can destroy cancer cells. Secondly, the EGCG connection helps to keep these particles in place, ensuring their maximum efficiency. As gold size increases, the therapeutic effect is enhanced, allowing you to affect even the most aggressive tumors.

The peculiarity of this therapy lies in the high specificity of the effect: radioactive particles destroy only cancer cells without affecting healthy tissues. This significantly reduces side effects, which often accompany traditional treatment methods such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

The use of gold in medicine in recent years has become more and more promising. Due to its unique properties, gold in nanoparticles allows you to create highly effective and minimally invasive methods of treating cancer. This therapy opens up new horizons in the treatment of malignant tumors, and its combination with tea extract allows you to achieve even greater accuracy and efficiency.

Thus, a combination of tea and gold extract in the fight against cancer can be a real breakthrough in oncology. Although this study is still at the testing stage, it is already of great interest in the scientific community and promises to significantly improve the results of cancer treatment in the future.
