This latest research has given a new ray of hope in cancer treatment. A student  has done the research under the guidance of Scientists, who is from Radiation Biology and Health Science Division and another scientist from Nuclear Agriculture and Biotechnology Division.

Extract made in methanol of all the three varieties has not only stopped the increase the human breast and lung cancers cells, but also destroyed the cancer cells. The ‘Lycha’ variety has been found to be the most effective in destroying the breast cancer cells. All the three varieties have proved to be equally effective against lung cancer.

In order to destroy the cancer cells, the necessary active ingredient can be given to the body by eating 200gm of the rice per day, informed the researchers. In the next stage of research, the scientists are trying to extract the anti-cancer ingredients or elements from these varieties and conduct trials on the mouse.
