综合国外媒体9月23日报道,这种病毒名为腺相关病毒2型(AAV2),约有80%的人携带这种病毒,它会对人体产生影响,但是不会致病。宾夕法尼亚州州立医学院的研究人员2005年发现,该病毒可导致宫颈癌患者的癌变细胞死亡。随后他们针对不同阶段乳腺癌病变细胞进行试验,在使用AAV2对付癌变细胞后,所有癌变细胞在7天内都消失了。$ f" o& J b, R7 P

微生物学与免疫学方向的助理研究员萨米纳·阿拉姆指出:“如果可以判定哪些病毒基因发挥了作用,我们就可以将这些基因引入治疗方法中,如果我们能够确定AAV2触动了哪些路径,就可以研制出启动那些路径的药物,或者可以只用该种病毒本身来治病。”2 g0 \4 |* b- `, b7 X3 l1 ]

美国疾病控制中心人员表示,在美国女性中,乳腺癌是最为常见的一种癌症,造成的死亡人数也较多。有关专家认为,由于乳腺癌患者发现自己患癌时所处阶段不同,所以治疗方法也不同。“在治疗乳腺癌患者时,你不能采用同一种方法,”微生物学与免疫学教授克雷格·迈耶斯说。2 H6 p4 ]+ x6 V- j% w

"Because it has multiple stages, you can't treat all the women the same. Currently, treatment of breast cancer is dependent on multiple factors such as hormone-dependency, invasiveness and metastases, drug resistance and potential toxicities," Meyers said. ) K& n! z/ C' Z x% B9 M
