Mumbai doctors find way to curb risk of cancer spread

Doctors at Tata Memorial Centre have discovered a mechanism for cancer metastasis and developed a nutraceutical therapy to reduce its risk. Their research reveals that dying cancer cells release 'chromosome fragments' (chromatin), which can fuse with healthy cells and form new tumors. This breakthrough finding offers hope for improved cancer treatment. Nutraceuticals, food products with added bioactive compounds or medicinal properties, can play a crucial role in promoting health beyond basic nutrition.
