Cancer cure breakthrough in Australia

debbiec · 10-25-2009, 06:52 PM

Hi All

Just thought i would post about something I saw on TV the other night on a current affair program.

Seeing as I am from Australia I dont know if this treatment has been mentioned overseas or not.

I think the product was called EBC or ECB 43 and it is a new treatment for canine cancer that is under trial at the moment. It is directly injected into the tumor and reported to be effective in reducing the tumor almost overnight.

They interviewed several dog owners that had received the treatment, via their vet, and apparently their dogs are cured of cancer.

That is about all I have heard about it and thought I would let you let you all know, hopefully it is a real breakthrough in the fight agains canine cancer.

The above is a link for you to read about the very promising new drug EBC 46 which destroyed many sarcomas and melanomas in dogs.

Wonderful news!!

Thanks Debbie!

I have to ask is this something anyone in the US has or is trying to get in this country?

Thanks

This is great news. I live in the US and I have heard nothing about this. This could be a major break through for modern medicine. If it is possible to cure cancer in dogs, then I can imagine it would be a matter of time before the same could be done in humans. This is huge, I am surprised that I have heard nothing about it here in the US. I am very interested in learning more about this though. I will have to start digging on it. Thank you for sharing this information.

While this drug seems to be a cure for many dogs, as far as I can tell it is not yet available in the US. I contacted the company that produces it and was given the following response....
"In regard to treatment of animals with EBC-46, we are currently focusing on a formal clinical research program which, when finalised, will allow us to make the drug available for treatment to a wider patient group.

We are making every effort to complete this process as swiftly as possible.

As soon as EBC-46 is more broadly available notification will be placed on the QBiotics website.

Please note that all enquiries in regard to treatment of animals with EBC-46 must be made through your veterinarian and that we are unable to respond to requests or questions from individual owners."

I have asked my vet to email the company as well but I don't think she has yet. At this point, I would fly my Abby to Australia if I could find the money and they could help her. I pray everyday that somehow this drug will become available to her and the thousands of other animals it could potentially save.
