Lupine Publishers| Investigation of Bladder Cancer, Breast Cancer,Colorectal Cancer, Endometrial Cancer, Kidney Cancer, Leukemia, Liver, Lung Cancer, Melanoma, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Pancreatic Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Thyroid Cancer and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer Using Synchrotron Technology For Proton Beam Therapy: An Experimental Bio spectroscopic Comparative Study
Lupine Publishers | Skin & respiratory medicine open access journals
Image Article
Figure 1: Correlation Spectroscopy (COSY) analysis of malignant human cancer cells and tissues (a) before and (b) after irradiating of synchrotron radiation in transformation process to benign human cancer cells and tissues with the passage of time.
In the current study, we have experimentally and comparatively investigated and compared malignant human cancer cells and tissues such as Bladder Cancer, Breast Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Endometrial Cancer, Kidney Cancer, Leukemia, Liver, Lung Cancer, Melanoma, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Pancreatic Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Thyroid Cancer and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer before and after irradiating of synchrotron radiation for proton beam therapy using Correlation Spectroscopy (COSY), Exclusive Correlation Spectroscopy (ECOSY), Total Correlation Spectroscopy (TOCSY), Incredible Natural-Abundance Double-Quantum Transfer Experiment (INADEQUATE), Heteronuclear Single-Quantum Correlation Spectroscopy (HSQC), Heteronuclear Multiple-Bond Correlation Spectroscopy (HMBC), Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy (NOESY) and Rotating Frame Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy (ROESY). It is clear that malignant human cancer cells and tissues have gradually transformed to benign human cancer cells and tissues under synchrotron radiation with the passage of time (Figures 1-4) [1-50]. It should be noted that malignant human cancer cells and tissues were exposed under white synchrotron radiation for 30 days. Furthermore, there is a shift of the spectrum in all of spectra after irradiating of synchrotron radiation that it is because of the malignant human cancer cells and tissues shrink post white synchrotron irradiation with the passage of time. In addition, all of the figures are related to the same human cancer cells and tissues. Moreover, in all of the figures y-axis shows intensity and also x-axis shows energy (keV) [51-100].
Figure 2: Exclusive Correlation Spectroscopy (ECOSY) analysis of malignant human cancer cells and tissues (a) before and (b) after irradiating of synchrotron radiation in transformation process to benign human cancer cells and tissues with the passage of time .
Figure 3: Total Correlation Spectroscopy (TOCSY) analysis of malignant human cancer cells and tissues (a) before and (b) after irradiating of synchrotron radiation in transformation process to benign human cancer cells and tissues with the passage of time .
Figure 4: Incredible Natural-Abundance Double-Quantum Transfer Experiment (INADEQUATE) analysis of malignant human cancer cells and tissues (a) before and (b) after irradiating of synchrotron radiation in transformation process to benign human cancer cells and tissues with the passage of time.
It can be concluded that malignant human cancer cells and tissues have gradually transformed to benign human cancer cells and tissues under synchrotron radiation with the passage of time (Figures 5-8). It should be noted that malignant human cancer cells and tissues were exposed under white synchrotron radiation for 30 days. Furthermore, there is a shift of the spectrum in all of spectra after irradiating of synchrotron radiation that it is because of the malignant human cancer cells and tissues shrink post white synchrotron irradiation with the passage of time. In addition, all of the figures are related to the same human cancer cells and tissues. Moreover, in all of the figures y-axis shows intensity and also x-axis shows energy (keV) [101-135].
Figure 5: Heteronuclear Single-Quantum Correlation Spectroscopy (HSQC) analysis of malignant human cancer cells and tissues (a) before and (b) after irradiating of synchrotron radiation in transformation process to benign human cancer cells and tissues with the passage of time.

Let’s Fight Cancer!
According to nutritionists and various health agencies the following are considered as carcinogens (cancer-causing) foods that many of us have probably consumed:
1. Alcohol
Drinking alcohol can inflame and irritate the body's tissues and organs. As the body tries to repair itself, it can set off mistakes in the DNA and let cancerous cells grow.
2. Processed meat
Processed meat is preserved with the use of chemicals. Eating at least 50 grams of processed meat everyday can increase the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%. So hotdogs, bacons, tocino are a "NO NO".
3. Meats charred/cooked at a high temperature.
Cooking meat at a very high temperature for a long period of time can cause the formation of chemicals in the food. Ingesting it might lead to the growth of cancerous cells.
4. Red Meat
Eating a large of red meat specifically more than 18 ounces or 1/2 kilogram of meat every week can increase the risk of colorectal, pancreatic and prostate cancer.
What we eat can affect many aspects of our health including developing chronic disease such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer in particular. The following foods can help you to prevent and reduce the risks.
1. Cruciferous Vegetables
It includes broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, bok choy, arugula, Brussels sprouts, collards, watercress and radishes. Most cruciferous veggies are rich in vitamins and minerals such as folate and vitamin K. Dark green cruciferous veggies also are an excellent source of vitamins A and C. They’re also rich in phytonutrients, plant-based compounds that may help to lower inflammation and reduce the risk of developing cancer. It also are rich in fiber and low in calories, a combination that will help you feel full and satisfied without overeating.
2. Citrus Fruits
It includes oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruits, in addition to tangerines and pomelos. Citrus fruits are also high in vitamin C, and are good sources of folate and thiamin. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and protects the body from damaging free radicals. It is also required for the synthesis of collagen, which helps wounds heal and helps hold blood vessels, tendons, ligaments and bone together. Folate is necessary for cell division and DNA synthesis. Thiamin is a B vitamin important in metabolism.
3. Beans
Beans are natural source of antioxidants and phytochemicals, and research shows that regular bean consumption may reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. Beans unique composition of fiber, as well as important micronutrients and antioxidants, makes them an important food choice for many reasons, including their possible anti-cancer properties for certain types of cancer, including colorectal, breast, and prostate.
4. Flaxseed
Flaxseed is a rich source of healthy fat, antioxidants, and fiber. The seeds contain protein, lignans, and the essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid, also known as ALA or omega-3. The nutrients in flaxseed may help lower the risk of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.
Today, flaxseed is available as seeds, oil, powder, tablets, capsules and flour. It is consumed as a dietary supplement to prevent constipation, diabetes, cholesterol, cancer, and other conditions.
5. Fatty Fish
Researchers are studying the effects omega-3 fatty acids have on delaying or reducing tumor development in breast and prostate cancer. It said that a study has found that a three-ounce portion of oily fish just once a week could help men to survive prostate cancer. Prostate cancer can be reduced by almost 60% with a higher intake of omega-3, the fatty acids found in oily fish. The researchers claimed that omega-3 reverses the effects of an inherited gene that can lead to the development of an aggressive form of the disease.
6. Tomato
Tomatoes are the major dietary source of the antioxidant lycopene, which has been linked to many health benefits; studies show that tomatoes and tomato products may reduce your risk of heart disease and several cancers. This fruit is also beneficial for skin health, as it may protect against sunburns. They are also a great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate, and vitamin K. Fresh tomatoes are low in carbs. The carb content consists mainly of simple sugars and insoluble fibers. These fruits are mostly made up of water. The content of vitamins and plant compounds in tomatoes can vary greatly between varieties and sampling periods.
7. Carrots
The carrot (Daucus carota) is a root vegetable often claimed to be the perfect health food. It is crunchy, tasty, and highly nutritious. Carrots are a particularly good source of beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants. They also have a number of health benefits. They’re a weight-loss-friendly food and have been linked to lower cholesterol levels and improved eye health. What’s more, their carotene antioxidants have been linked to a reduced risk of cancer. These are substances with powerful antioxidant activity that have been linked to improved immune function and reduced risk of many illnesses, including heart disease, various degenerative ailments, and certain types of cancer. Carrots are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, especially biotin, potassium, and vitamins A (from beta carotene), K1 (phylloquinone), and B6.
8. Garlic
Garlic grows in many parts of the world and is a popular ingredient in cooking due to its strong smell and delicious taste. However, throughout ancient history, the main use of garlic was for its health and medicinal properties Garlic is a plant in the onion family that’s grown for its distinctive taste and health benefits. It contains sulfur compounds, which are believed to bring some of the health benefits. It is low in calories and rich in vitamin C, vitamin B6 and manganese. It also contains trace amounts of various other nutrients and it also contains antioxidants that protect against cell damage and aging. It may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. High doses of garlic appear to improve blood pressure for those with known high blood pressure (hypertension). In some instances, supplements may be as effective as regular medications. Garlic is delicious and easy to add to your diet. You can use it in savory dishes, soups, sauces, dressings and more.
9. Turmeric
Turmeric may be the most effective nutritional supplement in existence.It is the spice that gives curry its yellow color and has been used in India for thousands of years as a spice and medicinal herb. Recently, science has started to back up what Indians know for a long time, it really does contain compounds with medicinal properties. These compounds are called curcuminoids, the most important of which is curcumin. Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant. However, the curcumin content of turmeric is not that high. It’s around 3%, by weight. Most of the studies on this herb are using turmeric extracts that contain mostly curcumin itself, with dosages usually exceeding 1 gram per day. It would be very difficult to reach these levels just using the turmeric spice in your foods. Therefore, if you want to experience the full effects, you need to take a supplement that contains significant amounts of curcumin. Unfortunately, curcumin is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. It helps to consume black pepper with it, which contains piperine, a natural substance that enhances the absorption of curcumin by 2,000%. The best curcumin supplements contain piperine, substantially increasing their effectiveness. Curcumin is also fat soluble, so it may be a good idea to take it with a fatty meal.
10. Olive Oil
The health effects of dietary fat are controversial. However, experts agree that olive oil especially extra virgin is good for you. Olive oil is the natural oil extracted from olives, the fruit of the olive tree. About 14% of the oil is saturated fat, whereas 11% is polyunsaturated, such as omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. But the predominant fatty acid in olive oil is a monounsaturated fat called oleic acid, making up 73% of the total oil content. Studies suggest that oleic acid reduces inflammation and may even have beneficial effects on genes linked to cancer. Monounsaturated fats are also quite resistant to high heat, making extra virgin olive oil a healthy choice for cooking. Extra virgin olive oil is loaded with antioxidants, some of which have powerful biological effects. Chronic inflammation is thought to be a leading driver of diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, arthritis and even obesity. Extra-virgin olive oil can reduce inflammation, which may be one of the main reasons for its health benefits. The main anti-inflammatory effects are mediated by the antioxidants. Key among them is oleocanthal, which has been shown to work similarly to ibuprofen, an anti-inflammatory drug. Some scientists estimate that the oleocanthal in 3.4 tablespoons (50 ml) of extra virgin olive oil has a similar effect as 10% of the adult dosage of ibuprofen. Research also suggests that oleic acid, the main fatty acid in olive oil, can reduce levels of important inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP). One study also showed that olive oil antioxidants could inhibit some genes and proteins that drive inflammation
A diet high in antioxidants may reduce the risk of many diseases, including heart disease and certain cancers. Antioxidants scavenge free radicals from the body cells, and prevent or reduce the damage caused by oxidation. The protective effect of antioxidants continues to be studied around the world.

Cancer Gene Therapy Market Analysis, Opportunity and Forecast 2020 to 2030
Global Cancer Gene Therapy Market: Snapshot
Gene therapy is a massive and swiftly expanding field that could hold promising cures and treatments for several diseases and genetic problems. One of the more innovative segments in gene therapy falls under cancer treatment. It is one of the widely researched aspects of gene therapy, and thanks to increasing interest and investments from both government and private organizations, is showing a swift rate of development towards actually becoming a feasible and strong treatment alternative for cancer. These treatment options could be used to save a large number of lives of patients who are suffering from cancer, a disease that is causing one of the leading causes of deaths.

Of the several types of gene therapy approaches, the more promising ones include gene transfer, oncolytic virotherapy, and immunotherapy. The latest versions of vaccines being developed for cancer using gene therapy, are also expected to show an optimistic rate of development. These vaccines could potentially be used against malignant melanoma, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and lung cancer, to name a few. Gene therapy involves modifying the genetic information in materials in order to effectively devise a cure.
Global Cancer Gene Therapy Market: Overview
Cancer results from the multiple mutations in a single cell that makes it to proliferate out of control. Cancer cells invade new cellular territories, have a high metabolic rate, and an altered shape. The various methods to treat cancers are surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. When the aforementioned therapies fail to achieve desired results, gene therapy is leveraged. Gene therapy involves the insertion of a functional gene, also known as therapeutic DNA, into the cells of a cancer patient to rectify the metabolism, to change or repair an acquired genetic abnormality, and to provide a new function to a cell. The two main types of gene therapy are germinal and somatic.
Global Cancer Gene Therapy Market: Key Trends
Majorly promoting the global cancer gene therapy market is the swift pace of technological breakthroughs and the growing popularity of emerging genomic technologies like next-generation sequencing and high-density DNA microarrays. Additionally, the government support for these technologies is also slated to stoke growth in the near future. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for example, supports screening programs for breast cancer control and cervical and colorectal cancers among low-income group women sans health insurance in the U.S.
Besides, the rising occurrence of cancer worldwide is will substantially drive up demand for gene therapy in the years ahead. According to WHO, cases of cancer will likely touch US$15 million mark by the end of the decade.
Global Cancer Gene Therapy Market: Market Potential
At present, most of the cancer gene therapy products are in being tested. The market is predicted to grow once the trials bear results. An US pharmaceutical company named Kite Pharma, for example, recently revealed the results from the initial six months of the trial of a new gene therapy treatment called CAR-T cell therapy. It helped up patients’ own immune cells and has eliminated the disease from one third of terminal patients. Around 36 per cent of the 101 patients on the trial were still in complete remission at six months, and eight in 10 saw their cancer reduced by at least half during the study.
Groundbreaking therapies such as this is slated to revolutionize the global cancer gene therapy market.
At present, adenoviral vector is a popular oncology application because of its effective nuclear mechanism and low pathogenicity. Adenoviral vectors are leveraged in gene replacement approaches, suicide gene, gene-based immunotherapy, and syndicate gene with chemotherapy. Retroviral vector-mediated gene transfer also plays a key role in the gene therapy industry for it brings about the crucial benefit of changing the single stranded RNA genome into a double stranded DNA molecule, which eventually integrates into the target cell genome.
Global Cancer Gene Therapy Market: Regional Outlook
North America and Europe are key regions in the global cancer gene therapy market on account of a massive elderly population and significant technological progress in the region. In the years ahead, however, the market is Asia Pacific is forecasted to surge on account of supportive government initiatives, improving economy, bettering healthcare infrastructure, and growing thrust on research and development.
Global Cancer Gene Therapy Market: Competitive Analysis
Some of the prominent players in the global cancer gene therapy market are Altor Bioscience Corporation, SiBiono., Shanghai Sunway Biotech company Limited, BioCancell, GlobeImmune, Inc.,Aduro Biotech, OncoGeneX, New Link Genetics., ZioPharm Oncology, and GENELUX. At present the market is led by small pioneering biotech firms who may eventually collaborate with prominent players for clinical development or commercialization of products.

This Little Known Cancer Play has been Crushing the Market (ADGI, OTLC, DVAX, PACB, SAVA, NVAX, IMGN, BNTX)
Volatility remains the dominant factor across the equities market, with interest rates rising and growth stocks well underwater so far in 2022.
Ground zero for this correction is among “long duration assets”, which includes growth stocks with big hypothetical cash flows down the road but not all that much coming in the door right now. This description fits some of the most exciting names in the market. But the opportunity cost of allocating investment capital to them now, rather than to stocks with big current cash flows or bonds with rising risk-free returns, is higher every day, which drives money out of the growth space and into value and hard assets.
But that won’t always be the case. It’s important to remember that Apple and Google and Amazon were young growth stocks once.
One of the most poignant cases of this type of potential oversight is in the biotech space. Biotechs qualify as long-duration assets in many cases. And they represent some of the most beaten down names in the market right now relative to potential future returns.
With large fund managers now holding nearly 6% cash to AUM, according to Bank of America’s latest Fund Manager Survey, investors may benefit from a close look at some of the top growth opportunities in the Biotech space, including names like Adagio Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:ADGI), Dynavax Technologies Corp. (Nasdaq:DVAX), Pacific Biosciences of California Inc. (Nasdaq:PACB), Cassava Sciences Inc. (Nasdaq:SAVA), Novavax Inc. (Nasdaq:NVAX), Immunogen Inc. (Nasdaq:IMGN), and BioNTech SE ADR (Nasdaq:BNTX).
However, we would also point to a lesser known name with an interesting pipeline asset that could have broad application: Oncotelic Therapeutics Inc. (OTC US:OTLC).
OTLC is a small-cap player that looks like it’s starting to really break onto the scene in both the oncology and virology markets.
The company has developed a first-in-class anti-TGF-β RNA therapeutic, OT-101, that has exhibited single agent activity in relapsed/refractory cancer patients. OT-101 also has shown activity against SARS-CoV-2 and has completed a phase 2 trial against COVID-19, with data analysis in progress. As a Covid asset, it should function agnostic of variants, which is obviously becoming an increasingly important factor.
However, as an oncology treatment, OT-101 is advancing along several paths right now. And the latest one pits it alongside KEYTRUDA, which is one of the most important cancer drugs to emerge over the past two decades.
Oncotelic Therapeutics Inc. (OTC US:OTLC) most recently announced the formation of a Joint Venture with Dragon Overseas Capital Limited. Dragon Overseas is a company affiliated with Golden Mountain Partners, LLC.
“I am excited to announce that, together with our partner Dragon Overseas, we have formed a JV for the discovery, development and commercialization of TGF-β therapeutics against all pharmaceutical indications,” said Dr. Vuong Trieu, CEO and Chairman of Oncotelic. “This JV unburdens the Company of the high cost of drug development, which the JV will be responsible for, while the Company will participate in its upside through appreciation in the value of its shares in the JV.”
According to details released about the deal, Oncotelic will receive up to $50 million on sale of the RPD voucher following marketing approval of OT-101 for DIPG, Dragon Overseas has agreed to invest cash and other assets with a value of approximately $27.6 million for 55% ownership of the JV, and Oncotelic has Licensed OT-101 to the JV for a 45% ownership in the JV.
In addition, the Joint Venture will be headquartered in Hong Kong with an initial focus on the further development and commercialization of OT-101, including for DIPG as well as pancreatic cancers and glioblastoma.
But the deal is actually even broader. In a follow-up letter, Trieu noted that it would pursue “the discovery, development and commercialization TGF-β therapeutics against all pharmaceutical indications.”
One should also note that this deal stands to put a promising pipeline asset on much firmer financial ground:
“This transaction allows us to unburden the Company of the high cost of drug development, which the JV will be responsible for, while the Company will participate in its upside through appreciation in the value of its shares in the JV and up to $50MM on the sale of the RPD voucher following marketing approval of OT-101 for DIPG. Dragon Overseas has agreed to invest cash and other assets with a value of approximately $27.6MM for 55% ownership of the JV; and Oncotelic has granted the License to the JV for 45% ownership in the JV.”
Oncotelic Therapeutics Inc. (OTC US:OTLC) shares have been outperforming the broad market of late, rising about 140% in the past 8 months on rising dollar-based volume measures. The stock is now trading above upward sloped major moving averages.
