3. Inhibits the growth of stomach cancer cells
Direct rectal radiation (DRI) can inhibit the growth and spread of gastric cancer cells without harming healthy cells or causing toxicity. Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and active research is currently underway to use DRI in treating this form of cancer.
4. Helps eliminate skin cancer cells (melanoma)
DRI has been shown to induce apoptosis (cell death) in human melanoma cells—a form of skin cancer resistant to chemotherapy—without harming healthy cells. This makes it a natural alternative to surgery or more aggressive treatments for melanoma.
5. Can treat bone marrow cancer (chronic myelomonocytic leukemia)
This form of cancer of the hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow and blood is notoriously difficult to treat.
