Abstract

The use of gamma linolenic acid, preferably derived from borage oil, in the treatment of cancer is disclosed. In a further embodiment, the use of radiolabelled compounds in the imaging of cancer progression is provided. The radiolabelled compounds may include gamma linolenic acid, and inorganic and organic carcinogenic and cancer treatment compounds, and may be administered by injection, orally or by inhalation. The radiolabelled compounds may then be detected using a gamma camera.

Description

The reason of all cancer types.
According to our anticancer treatment results (gamma Linolenic acid) which was extracted from medidnal herb (Borago officinalis L. (Borage)) in 2003, and also according to the chemical properties of organic and inorganic carcinogenic compounds, some specU1c relating studies, and some other indications, the reason of all cancer types may be a mistake in the human brain system. Therefore, for confirming these results, and to know which part of the brain that this mistake occurs and why? Depending on the brain anatomy science, this may finally lead to find a successful treatment for all cancer types. For this purpose, it can be used different procedure types but all of them should follow same basics and principles. These principles are; to prepare three or more different compounds; gamma Linolenic add, organic and inorganic carcinogenic and cancer treatment compounds also They should be prepared from spedfic Radioisotopes metals or they should contain spedfic Radioisotopes metals in them chemical structure. After that, these compounds will inject, inhalant or orally taken into experimental animal or human body make it possible to follow them inside this body depending on nuclear medicine imaging systems (i.e. gamma camera). This process will give us the information about the pathways of these compounds through the body tissues (them work inside the body). to confirm our study about the relation between these compounds and the brain. Our thought is when know the reason of all cancer types, them successful treatment will be possible to prepare.
In general, when above process results indicate that the preparing compounds will accumulate in a specific part or organ of the body (animal or human) more than the other parts or organs. This means this part or organ is responsible for cancer.
Moreover, after study, the anatomy information of this organ it can be known the reason of cancer which is a mistake in this part or organ.
There is another experimental process useful for knowing the reason of cancer, which is by using certain Bactria or viruses known as potential carcinogen species such as human Papilloma Virus or Helicobacter pylon Bactria.This procedure starting by preparing specific gene or protein contains isotope metals and injects it into the Bactria or viruses. After that, these species will be injected or orally take into experimental animal body for following them by one of nuclear medicine imaging systems (gamma camera) to know the action of these species by causing cancer. In this procedure, it can be used isotopes of amino acids or isotopes of nitrogen bases for preparing specific isotope for either gene or protein. Nevertheless, according to our study, using of chemical compounds is more accurate and suitable than using of Bactria or viruses.
To understand our experimental study the following example will clarify it. Firstly, preparing five compounds: the first one is gamma Linolenic acid which is contain 1C, 150 3N, 35C1, 18F, 79Br, 123j or 2H metal isotope(s) in its chemical structure. For preparing this compound, it can be used addition reaction by adding SO, 3N, 18F, 35C1 (or36Cl) , 79Br (or 81Br), 123j (or 124j) or 2H to one of the three gamma Linolenic acid double bonds.
However, if this process will change the action of this compound inside the body. Then it can be used another reaction which is substitution reaction by replacing the hydroxyl or carboxylate moiety by known moiety contain one or more from active isotopes such as, 15 3N, 35C1. However, the other four compounds, two of them are using for the treatment of cancer and the other two are carcinogenic compounds (they cause cancer). In addition, two of these compounds are inorganic and the other two are organic. Therefore, the four compounds are; for cancer treatment: Platinum metal compounds (Cis-platin) as inorganic compound and Altretamine drug as organic compound.
And the other two for cancer causes are; Arsenic compounds as inorganic compound and 1,3-Butadiene as organic compound. It can be prepared these four compounds from radioisotopes such as (192Pt, 195Pt) or any other active platinum isotopes, (73As 75As), or (11C, 15 13N, 18F) for the organic compounds.
Secondly, the five preparing compounds can be given by injection, inhalation or orally into animal body to follow them inside the body by using gamma camera as nuclear medicine images technique. This process results will make us able to know the pathways and action that these compounds will take to, treat or cause cancer.

Claims (8)

  1. Claims: 1. According to our study of using gamma Linolenic acid as anticancer treatment which was for five years (2003-2008) and on different cancer types, and our results that indicated that this add is a good treatment for many cancer types alone or with certain anticancer drugs such as Cis-platin.This study also used a special dosage 10 ml of our preparing solution that may contain about 0.1-0.2ml of GLA every 3 hours (8 times in the day); finally, GLA (gamma Linolenic acid) extracted from (Borago officinalis L. (Borage)) flower.
  2. 2. During many centuries, Borago oil has used for different purposes inside the body. It is essential for normal brain function, growth and development, bone health, stimulation of skin and hair growth, regulation of metabolism, and maintenance of reproductive processes, and it has good reputation for relieving symptoms of gout, rheumatism, and headaches. Moreover, it is wide popular for the women of PMS symptoms, this when using it as breast tenderness and feelings of depression as weH as irritability and swelling and bloating from fluid retention. However, there are many other benefits for Using of GLA by human such as it used as anticancer agent for some cancer types.
  3. 3. According to daim (I) and (2), the GLA (gamma Linolenic acid) is a good treatment for cancer and it is essential for normal brain function, growth and development, feelings of depression, and headaches. This mean there is an obvious relation between the brain function, GLA, and all cancer types.
  4. 4. Depending on recent studies, the Human brain is responsibe for ceHs growth and ceUs development, and cancer in simpe deflnition is another type of human cefls growth1 it is unsystematic cefls growth.
  5. 5. Many studies indicate that there is strong evidence about the relationship between the human brain and cancer, and one of these studies is Metzler studies (1978-1985) in Germany and Reiche E. M. et at (2004) study.
  6. 6. Nuclear medicine is widely used over the wor'd and many studies are achieved about using of nuclear medicine to treat or diagnose many diseases.
  7. 7. Nuclear medicine is a branch of medicine that uses radiation to provide information about the functioning of a persons specific organs or to treat disease. In most cases, physicians to make a quick, accurate diagnosis of the patient's iUness use this information, The thyroid, bones, heart, Uver and many other organs can easily image, and disorders in their function revealed. In some cases, radiation can used to treat diseased organs1 or tumours. Five Nobel Laureates have been intiniately involved wfth the use of radioactive tracers in medidne. Over 10,000 hospitals, worldwide use radioisotopes in medicine, and about 90% of the procedures are for diagnosis.
  8. 8. Depending on claim (7), our study by using gamma camera as nudear medicine images technique and appropriate isotopes, for finding the reason of aH cancer types, is experimentally useful.
