Late stage lung cancers are some of the hardest to treat, but in the future
scientists maybe able to grow human lungs and simply remove and replace the
damaged lung. So far it appears that major steps have been made to make this
feasible for lung transplants. In the United Kingdom a specialized team of
researchers at the Imperial College London used embryonic stem cells and had
them grow into cells found in the lungs of adults.
Lung cells, which allow oxygen to cross into the blood stream where made.
Although this maybe a decade or so away, it is possible to make this procedure a
simple process. It is also theoretically possible to make these tissues from
other types of adult stem cells, which avoids the political stem cell debates,
which have been a firestorm of controversy, between religious doctrines and
modern bio scientists. Currently it is hard for a lung cancer victim to get a
transplant, which is a close enough match for a viable risk of rejection, but
this could change all that some day.
Master cells or stem cells can be coaxed into becoming any number of types of
cells you want them to be with proper directions. It is also fair to say that
this research could lead to repairing damaged sections of the lungs after cancer
treatment and restore the lungs to full capacity. There is obviously significant
work to be done, but this of course is a major step indeed. Modern Medicine is
moving along extremely fast and we are solving many of the problems we face in
beating cancer. For now we must all live strong and soon the human race will no
longer have to worry about cancer. Think on this.
