Kochi, Feb 21 : Promising new lease on life to cancer patients across the world, a young scientist from Kerala has developed a cost effective and less toxic nano medicine to cure cancer.

The medicine is claimed to be very effective for oral, brain and pancreatic cancers and is also cost effective with minimum side effects compared to existing drugs in the market.

The medicine begins to work within 48 hours after being injected into a patient and 90 per cent of it would accumlate in the cancer tissue compared to other medicines, Dr Manszoor Koyakutty, who developed the medicine told UNI.

In contrast to the present system of photo therapy, where the medicine passes though the entire body of a patient, instead of the affected part and the patient prohibited to light for one month as it turns toxic, the new medicine is named as photo dynamic therapy.

It is 60 per cent cheaper than photo therapy system, which costs Rs 6000 per dose. A patient has to take a minimum of four doses, he said. (UNI)
