Research Abstract |
Our research succeeded to provide a practical tool (serum test) to diagnose early stage of cancer such as benign polyps and adenoma, and colonoscopic dissection of these lesions consequently leads to cancer prevention in candidate population. Systematic search for a novel anti-caner drug candidates resulted in more toxicity than efficacy on cancer cells in vitro, and we had to conclude that none of the known candidates could apply in clinics. However, we simultaneously searched and discovered a Chinese compound, Kaiji, which has been introduced to the patients in the NCI Hospital, Ariake, Japan. The limited number of the results showed significant controlling effect on hepatoma and the other adenocarcinoma, by activation of cellular immunity and also by the inhibition of angiogenesis in tumor. We are now applying Kaiji to Drosophila system to show the detailed efficacy on protein-protein and genetic system in cancer cells.
