Breast milk is being used to fight cancer after scientists accidentally discovered it contains a substance that kills tumour cells. 在科学家意外发现母乳中含有可以杀死肿瘤细胞的物质之后，人们正在用母乳来治疗癌症。 Trials in patients with bladder cancer have already yielded promising results and researchers believe the compound breast milk contains – nicknamed Hamlet – will also help tackle bowel cancer and cervical cancer. 在膀胱癌患者身上的实验已经取得了可喜的成果，而研究人员们认为，含有“哈姆雷特”物质的母乳化合物对肠癌和宫颈癌也有疗效。 They also say it homes in on cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed – so it has none of the debilitating side effects of chemotherapy. 研究人员还表示，这种物质会在癌细胞上生长却又不会损伤健康的细胞，因此不会有像化疗那样带来的使人衰弱的副作用。 |
