Currently, the most common treatments for cancer both in Taiwan and worldwide, involve chemo-therapy and radiation therapy. However, such methods are most often, only effective for patients, with early-stage cancer, and will also kill off healthy cells in the body. Thus, the medical profession, has long sought to develop a treatment, which only targets cancer cells, without harming normal cells. In this direction, the Academia Si-ni-ca have recently developed, a new type of anti-cancer technology, whereby sugar molecules, from the surface of cancer cells, are syn-the-sized into anti-gens. Such anti-gens then allow the body’s immune system, to produce anti-bodies which can fight off cancerous cells.
