"Study Suggests Foam Infused with 'Poisonous' Gas Supercharges Cancer Treatments"

A study suggests that drinking foam infused with carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas found in cigarettes, could improve cancer treatment outcomes. Researchers created gas-entrapping materials (GEM) to safely contain carbon monoxide and found that mice given the foam alongside an experimental cancer treatment saw better responses. The study opens a promising new frontier in the quest to improve cancer therapies by harnessing the benefits of higher carbon monoxide levels without including the health risks of cigarettes.

"Carbon Monoxide-Infused Foam Enhances Cancer Therapy in Mice, Study Finds"

Researchers have developed a novel approach to cancer therapy involving a foam infused with carbon monoxide, which has shown promising results in tests on mice and human tissue in the lab. The approach is based on the observation that cancer patients who smoke have better outcomes for a treatment aimed at restricting a process of cell death called autophagy. The foam, created using Gas-Entrapping Materials (GEMs), was given to mice with pancreatic and prostate cancers, leading to significant reductions in tumor growth and progression. Further research and clinical trials are needed to determine the effectiveness and safety of this approach for cancer patients.
