The most common form of cancer detected in women is breast cancer. Second most common is skin cancer. Recent studies show that a green tea extract could cure skin cancer. Well, maybe not cure it, but it sure causes it to disappear. It?s not just the tea though. It?s the way it is introduced to the tumor that helps diminish the cancer.

This was done by creating a cell with EGCg and transferrin, a protein that naturally targets and latches on to the surface of cancer cells, applying it to ?tumours.

The tests were done on two types of skin cancer ? epidermoid carcinoma which forms like scales on the surface of the skin, and melanoma, which often develops in people who have moles on their skin.

In both studies, 40 per cent of tumours vanished while 30 per cent of tumours in carcinoma cases and 20 per cent in melanoma cases shrank. A further 10 per cent of melanoma tumours were stabilized and remained the same.

The process was found to have no side-effects on other cells or tissue.

Dr Christine Duf?s, a senior lecturer at the Strathclyde ?Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, who led the research, said: ?These are very encouraging results which we hope could pave the way for new and effective cancer treatments. Source

This is good news for cancer sufferers. If this cell and extract works on skin tumors, can it work on other types of cancer. I?m sure more research needs to be done and reports written before we will know anything definite. I think it?s too soon to start drinking gallons of green tea, but this is the most exciting cancer news in years. They said green tea extract could cure skin cancer but have no side effects. I will definitely include some type of green tea in my diet. How about you?
