Greetings !!!
Today i read an article in one of the news paper regarding kills
cancer cells (that too work in prostate cancer + lung cancer).
Does anybody explored abt this?.
The extracted a few lines & here for your reference.....
ISRAELI SCIENTISTS who have built the world's smallest medical
computer
so small that a million million of them would fit in a drop of water
- have `diagnosed' prostate cancer and released a drug to kill cancer
cells, they announced recently. So far, the technology has only worked
in a test tube.

For more info you can refer the Israel website

Candidly speaking i didnt understand anything from this sites. Is it
any kind of treatment or vaccine?. If so can i use it for advanced
prostate cancer ? or just some invention only?. Pls ignore my
stupidity & kindly describe me abt this.

Unfortunately, it's still just experimental. As you
can see from the above quote, the scientists haven't
yet got anything they're even ready to try on animals,
much less on people.
Even if the research is successful, it will probably be
many years before any treatment can be developed
from it.
If you would like to try experimental treatments,
you can check to see if any clinical trials are
available near you. Clinical trials are trials of
new drugs or other therapies that have reached
the research stage where they are ready to try
out on human beings.
Here is a web page that will help you find clinical
trials:

Good luck.
