We increase the vigilance of the organism 

- About a sensation in oncology can not speak, - says Director of Institute, Doctor of Medical Sciences, corresponding member of NAS of Ukraine Vasyl Chekhun - this is a problem-century, and with the development of science and society, people have tried to solve it, but until today not decided yet. The fact that the pathological process of cancer are so closely fused with normal saline, which are difficult to detect its very beginning. So do not talk about the sensations, the best of a long, painstaking labor, modern technology, the development of molecular oncology, which allow today to reach an entirely new level of knowledge of the nature of tumor, its diagnosis and treatment.

The first tests of anti-cancer vaccine was conducted in mice. On the "golden statue," our discovery, unfortunately, has not yet drawn - says MD, deputy director of the Scientific Institute of Care of Experimental Pathology, Oncology and Radiobiology. P.E. Kavetsky HAH Ukraine Grigory Potebnya. - Anticancer vaccine, invented by us, yet one hundred percent guarantee of recovery does not. Looking at history, I would say that the first similar phenomena in the treatment of cancer patients have been established quite by accident, when at the end of the XIX century, it was reported spontaneous regression of Kaposi neoperiruemoy after infection erysipelas. For the treatment of these patients were then used injection killed streptococcus. The founder is in the development of modern national cancer was Academician Alexander Bogomolets. A prerequisite for his work was the theory of Metchnikoff systems of local and general immunity.

Statistics shows that in Ukraine the incidence of cancer is 315 cases per 100,000 population, mortality from this serious illness under 200 cases. Every hour in the country registered 20 new cases of cancer during the same time kills 12 onkohoryh. However, statistics say that 54% of cancer patients in Ukraine radically cured. But doctors, who instead of statistical reports, see the eyes of their patients, not satisfied with such results. For radically treated patients considered that managed to survive at least 5 years after surgical removal of malignant tumors, the course of radiation and chemotherapy. And then? Then it is necessary to recall the words of the founder pathophysiology Bogomolets that the cancer - this is not a local process, and disease of the whole organism.

Malignancy has much in common with infections, in some cases, the development of tumors associated with viruses. But, more importantly, that every cancer cell is different from the healthy cells of the same tissue from which it originated. And these differences (composition of cellular structures, proteins, products of metabolism) make it alien to the body. In any organism in the process of cell renewal, which means that it is always formed cells that can give a malignant process. Control over this process and, naturally, the level of protection against tumor development belongs to the mechanisms of immunity. In animal communication functions with the development of tumor immunity has been proved with exhaustive conviction. The same pattern can be seen in human disease. Suffice it to say that people with congenital defects of immunity are much more developed tumors, the same danger lurks in the use of immuno-depressive therapy (eg organ transplants).
