Cancer patients often suffer severe pain torture, and existing drugs are often not an effective analgesic. German research staff a few days ago report that have a pain to find the causes of cancer, cancer patients are expected to help ease the pain.

Pharmacology University of Heidelberg on the 16th Research Institute issued a press communique said, the researchers found mice in the tumor to check which signals the release of substances, it was found that two particular elements. Through the detection electrodes and found that cancerous tissue around the nerve cells in contact with these elements have become particularly sensitive to pressure.

real life, cancer patients often feel when tumor pain. Tumor growth will also have its own pressure, causing pain. In addition, cancer cells seem to have the use of these special molecules to promote their own growth.

in further animal experiments, researchers injected antibody through the protein, blocking the release of nerve cells and tumor material and the signal contact point, resulting in cancerous tissue surrounding the sensitivity of nerve cells and tumor growth speed declined.

said, the next step the researchers will be to verify the tumor in the body to take similar measures can also play an analgesic effect.
