Q.  Researchers discover new non-invasive method to kill cancer cells in 2 hours- what chemical compound does it use?
- Published on 29 Jun 16

a. Nitrobenzaldehyde
b. Carbonbenzaldehyde
c. Heliumbenzaldahyde
d. None of the above

ANSWER: Nitrobenzaldehyde
 
Researchers have developed a new, non-invasive method to kill cancer cells in two hours, which will help people with inoperable or hard to reach tumours as well as young children stricken with deadly disease
  • Method involves the injection of a chemical compound called nitrobenzeldahyde which turns the tumour into diffused tissues
  • A beam of light is focused on the tissue causing the cells to become acidic inside out and kill themselves
  • Within two hours, close to 95 percent of the targeted cells are dead or estimated to be so
  • Induced cell suicide is the method that therefore works to deal with deadly diseases like triple negative breast cancer
