A component in impotence medication might help deal with oesophageal cancer, a research study has discovered.

"It's been used throughout the world in millions of doses," he explained. "It's safe, and we applied it to cancer."

He included it was to the scientists "awe and surprise and delight" that the drug had an impact.

"We require to put this into a clinical trial where we attempt the drug type together with chemotherapy to see if it makes the chemotherapy more reliable," he stated.

The research study was out utilizing tumours from 8 cancer clients, with additional tests done on mice.

Chemotherapy only assists 20% of oesophageal cancer patients in a substantial method, he said.

"If this drug mix even improves it by a little amount, we're really going to assist a a great deal of individuals every year to respond much better and live longer."

Researchers at Southampton University Hospitals say that the typical results of Erectile Dysfunction Cure disorder drugs need extra stimulation, so would not affect cancer patients in the same method.

Prof Underwood said the primary side results would be "a little headache, a bit of flushing".

Terry Daly, from Aldershot, Hampshire, is among the 9,500 people detected with oesophageal cancer in the UK every year.

It typically goes undetected in the early stages, with Mr Daly discovering it was difficult to swallow his food and he ended up regurgitating it.

He is quickly to go through another round of chemotherapy, and said if he had the choice to take the new treatment he would have "taken it with both hands".

"The research study that is being done is definitely fantastic," he stated.

"It is simply amazing that there are people out there willing to spend their lives simply looking for a Cure for Impotency, so that people can proceed with their daily lives and not need to go through all this stuff.

"You can't thank these people enough for what they're doing."

The five-year study has actually been moneyed by Cancer Research UK and the Medical Research Council.

A clinical trial is anticipated within the next 18 months and if successful, it is hoped new treatments based upon this research study might be utilized within 10 years.
