Czech scientists develop highly promising drug against cancer

Czech scientists from the Prague Institute of Chemistry and Biochemistry have developed a highly promising drug against cancer. According to the Mlada Fronta Dnes daily, the drug has shown fantastic results when tested on animals. Stomach and throat tumors in dogs melted away in just six days after the animals were injected with the drug. The American firm Gilead has reportedly started testing the drug on several thousand patients in the United States. The drug is effective for cancer of the lymphatic nodes, on stomach cancer, chest cancer, on spleen and thymus tumors. If all goes well the new drug could be on the market in approximately six years, the paper writes.
