Awhile ago, I got an email from one of the "gurus" I follow and it shocked me. The gist of it was this person wanted to trade services for a household item.To say it floored me would be an understatement.What was worse was a few days later t Automation technologies represent a fundamental aspect of any modern industry. The major types of industrial automation solutions, such as DCS, PLC, SCADA, and MES, are used on a large-scale in process and discrete industries.DCS technologie
CANCER THERAPY?Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiation therapy, targeted therapy, Immunotherapy, Hyperthermia, Stem cell transplant, photodynamic therapy, lasers and blood product donation. By now most your must have felt these terms familiar and correlated them to cancer treatment. Yes! These are the most common therapies for cancer treatment and especially for that of late-stage cancer. Are the cancer patients destined for a miserable death? Is there a way to prolong their survival without going through emotional and physical pain of current cancer treatment? Companies coming up with supplementary products and those of cancer survivors have something else to talk about – Nutraceuticals.Illustration of the basic cancer treatment strategy that is currently employedTHE BEGINNING!Internet has become a wealth of information and access to this vast data led many cancer patients to use complementary methods as an adjunct to traditional therapy for cancer. In fact, these therapies are seldom documented or are informed to the primary caregiver. The most common of all, the use of dietary supplements appears to be highly prevalent in patients in active treatment for cancer. A boost up to this trend are the findings of emerging research which states that some plant-based agents may, indeed show, significant impact on late-stage cancer, influencing molecular processes corrupted by tumor cells to evade detection, expand clonally and invade surrounding tissues.PROMISING ALTERNATIVE TO CANCER THERAPY!The number of people who have successfully dealt with cancer in the US is increasing constantly. About 10.5 million people in US alone claimed that they are ‘cancer survivors’. The result of a primary survey conducted in over 13 countries showed that over 30% of the cancer patients employ some type of complementary and alternative medical practices. Scientists had agreed that a possibility exists for herbal based dietary supplements to antagonize the therapy. However, the basic research had illuminated the promise for certain natural compounds of phytochemical origin, to also have the potential to interfere with the late-stage cancer, and perhaps after the course of meta-static cancer.INTERFERENCE WITH CANCERThis can be justified with the likely results in cell lines and in animal models. Some of the nutraceutical agents that have shown positive results during research include, Capsaicin, Eugenol, Gingerol, Diosgenin and Proanthocyanadins. Eugenol (4-allyl-1hydrozy-2-methoxybenzene) is generally found in oil of cloves, basil, cinnamon and other aromatic spices. Tumor growth suppressive effects of Eugenol were noted in studies of human cancer cell lines and in the MNNG-rat model of gastric cancer. In later study, cell proliferation was inhibited via suppression of nuclear kappa beta (NFκβ), in keeping with many other nutraceuticals that appear to be both anti-inflammatory and growth inhibitory.Eugenol and its applicationsMore recent studies by the same group in the rat gastric cancer model have amplified the anti-inflammatory effects of Eugenol by down-regulating the expression of MMPs, VEGF, TIMP-2 and RECK, all associated with the invasion of tumor cells. Though this might be the just tip of an iceberg and our research community might just wave it away as a false promise to boost the nutraceutical sales, this idea of employing natural medicine in cancer therapy is a subject that gained immense popularity.HOW IS THE MARKET?In a nutshell, say it because of the use in cancer therapy or just for providing required supplementary nutrients for the body in their natural form, nutraceuticals gave gained prominence with many health aware consumers preferring them to synthetic supplements. This in turn had boosted the nutraceutical market, which is expected to reach $385 billion by 2020 with an annual growth rate of 7.5% as quoted by Mordor Intelligence in their recent market analysis report on the former.Source: Cancer Research UKWith over 14 million new cancer cases being registered every year, the scope of employing nutraceuticals as dietary supplements during the treatment is highly optimistic, making the nutraceutical market a fruitful venture, for the coming 5-10 years Article Tags: Meta-static Cancer, Cancer Therapy, Cancer Treatment, Late-stage Cancer, Cancer Patients, Dietary Supplements
