Researchers from Queen’s University of Belfast, Northern Ireland, have discovered that thanks to the nitro-glycerine patch prostate cancer may stabilize or even decline within two years. Nitro-glycerine by releasing nitric oxide acts as a role coronodilatatore, increasing blood flow and producing a hypertensive effect, giving relief from chest pain.
Prostate cancer may have a short life.
E ‘was discovered, in fact, it takes only a few doses of nitro-glycerine to block the development of prostate cancer.
The discovery was made in the Queen’s University of Belfast, Northern Ireland by a group of researchers led by Dr. Robert Siemens. Nitro-glycerine through the release of nitric oxide acts as coronodilatatore role, increasing blood flow and producing a hypertensive effect, giving relief from chest pain.
Irish researchers who tested the power of nitro-glycerine on a group of 24 men suffering from prostate cancer, already treated by radiotherapy or surgery. For two years volunteers have worn on the abdomen or arm a plaster made of nitro-glycerine divided into six parts, because the laboratory had established that lower doses were needed compared to heart disease. Every 12 hours, the patches were replaced with new patches.
During the two years, researchers have carried out checks every 2-3 months to see what was the state of the PSA marker associated with the development of cancer. Well, after a year, the levels of the majority of patients had stabilized or even fallen.
Dr. Siemens said he was pleased with the results obtained; Cancer Research, however, still calls for caution, noting that the data refer to levels of PSA and not the actual texture of the tumour. It has not been clarified, inter alia, the link (which there must be) between nitro-glycerine and the development of cancer and the real effects that this type of therapy would have on prostate cancer.
The aim now is therefore to establish, through in-depth features, if the bedding or decrease in the PSA level is genuinely resulting in a stabilization or even regression of the tumour, which, according to researchers in Ireland, is an as desirable.
