Now scientists have found a way to cure brain tumors. The scientists used a technique called the 'Trojan Horse' to destroy the tumor cells of the brain. This technique is claimed to be the most efficacious treatment today.
Scientists from the University of Cambridge, England, combines nanotechnology with existing cancer drugs, so it can potentially be the most aggressive treatment and cure of cancer significantly from day later.
It might sound familiar with the name 'Trojan Horse'. Known, it is the name of the virus found in the most deadly computer.
However, reported by the Independent, Wednesday, August 13, 2014, in their research, scientists designing and delivering nanoparticles that are a mixture of gold and cisplatin, a chemotherapy drug.
The mixture is then inserted in the tumor cancer cells. The results showed when exposed to radiotherapy, the gold will be releasing electrons that damage the DNA in cancer cells that are susceptible to attack cancer drugs.

In a study conducted in the laboratory showed that the scientists successfully with no signs of re-growth after 20 days of tumor cells were destroyed.
"Our combined therapy seems very effective design that nanotechnologies role to achieve success for aggressively fighting cancer," said Professor Mark Welland of the University of Cambridge, quoted eurekalert.org page.
Wellland who led the research, said the study should be developed regarding the treatment of glioblastoma in the future. Glioblastoma itself is a central nervous system tumors are different from other normal tissues.
Until now, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) has been shown to be very resistant to treatment. Thanks to this discovery, Welland states of electrons given off by gold in response to radiotherapy will limit damage to healthy cells that stood by.
Scientists use gold as a safe material to be used which can be easily manipulated into the size and shape of the desired particle.
"Nano has a great impact. We currently have another project that uses different nanoparticles with targeting other human diseases at the cellular level neuridegenerative tuberculosis and diseases such as Parkinson's," he explained.
Welland added, nano technology is also useful for health diagnostics. He estimated that nanotechnology will allow instant analysis of blood, saliva, and urine in a device that can be used by patients to monitor their condition.
