Researchers from the UK and UK have found that treating the most aggressive cancers should focus on targeting extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA), which are rogue DNA fragments that help cancerous tumors flourish and become chemotherapy-resistant.
They found ecDNA is present in over 17% of analyzed tumors, particularly in aggressive forms of breast, brain, and lung cancers, co-segregate during mitosis, allowing them to inherit multiple oncogenes, or cancer-prone ecDNA by daughter cells.They found ecDNA is present in over 17% of analyzed tumors, particularly in aggressive forms of breast, brain, and lung cancers.

DNA treatments are the future of cancer therapy, byas they precisely targetingtarget the root epigenetic changes that drive tumor growth without damaging healthy cells. UnlikeThis is unlike traditional treatments like chemotherapy, which indiscriminately kills cells, epigenetic drugs can restore normal gene function by reversing harmful DNA modifications. This will make cancer treatment more efficient while also reducing negative symptoms.
While cancer treatments are currently necessary for a lot of people, the most important thing to focus on is how to prevent the next generation of patients. Cancer should not be as widespread as it is, and the medical establishment is choosing to prescribe profitable medications rather than fix the root causes. Our food supply and environment are chock-full of toxins that are destroying our cells. If we got rid of those toxins, we could end the cancer epidemic.
