A team of Australian scientists has claimed that their findings would help in bringing a revolution in the treatment of cancer. According to the scientists, they have found a link between the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and tumor.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are also known as NSAIDs have been understood as a wonder drug by the medical professionals for years. But the link between them and the tumor has been hidden from the medical professionals.

It has been informed that a tumor or cancer spread in the body by emitting a number of compounds and proteins which causes the tumor to grow. The proteins and compounds thus emitted by the tumor attract the blood cells and thus affect the whole body.

During the research, the Australian scientists found that a particular gene PGDH causes inflammation in the cancer patient. The senior author of the research, Associate Professor Steven Stacker, said, "Basically, the growth factors released by tumours also encourage nearby collecting lymphatic vessels to widen, increasing the capacity for these 'supply lines' to act as more effective conduits of cancer spread".

The scientists are of the view that by narrowing the lymphatic vessels the spread of the cancer can be restricted. A large number of Australians are diagnosed with breast cancer, bowel cancer and other type of deadly cancers.

The scientists are hopeful that in the coming time their findings would help in inventing effective treatment for cancer. It is for the very first time when revelation has been made over as to how cancer spreads in patients' body.

It is hoped that through the findings of the scientists a method would be invented by which the treatment of cancer could become possible without allowing it to spread to other parts of body.
