HIDDEN CURE.Cancer is a deficiency disease caused by a lack of nitrilosides in the modern western diet just like scurvy is a deficiency of vitamin C.

Why should she profit from it exclusively? She did not come to all this knowledge by herself, why should she profit from her small amount of creativity when she couldn't have done it without the scientific community.
It's not exactly a cure for cancer and it's not new news. Researchers have been working with nano-particles and its application in cancer for years now - see NanoHealth Alliance for example. It's one thing to come up with a concept, it's another to implement it. That's great that she came up with an idea at a young age, but the news is hyping it up and ignoring all the other cancer research that's going on. I'll also bet her parents are researchers or in the medical field and helped her.
@GoodMusicRespect Her idea is a hypothesis, and a decent one at that, but what the general public is misunderstanding is this is not a cure. You don't find cures by hypothesizing. Aside from that, cancer as a whole cannot be cured as it is an encompassing term composed of hundreds of diseases that relate to uncontrolled cell growth. Cancer as a whole is difficult to treat because the underlying causes are so varied and its compounded by high mutation frequency due to the accelerated cell growth.
@kowtronik69skizmatic If you read up on it she has tested it on rats, and it has worked for the most part. It is more than just a hypothesis if it is actually working.
@GoodMusicRespect If you actually read up about the award and her work, she did not do any actual clinical research. She simply came up with a design, which is great for a high school student, but it's still far for a cure. She also got a huge boost from the fact that her mentor was Dr. Zhen Cheng of Stanford University. It's sad that the general public doesn't understand research and assumes that this must be a cure.
@GoodMusicRespect I've watched it. It doesn't go into certain aspects though, such as cell targeting - eg. how do you make sure the particles gets to the right cell without affecting surrounding cells. This is one major issue with "curing cancer." With thyroid tumors for example, radioactive iodine 131 is often used as the thyroid uses iodine, it then emits gamma rays to kill off the thyroid cells. This results in hypothyroidism and the patient has to be on levothyroxine for life.
@GoodMusicRespect People watching or reading the news don't understand that you can't simply say a product decreases tumor size, one major issue is cell specificity. Targeting isn't easy for every tumor growth - of course thyroid is a simple example since thyroid targeting is accomplished with iodine. Even then there can't be a cure all for "cancer" since as I mentioned before cancer is an encompassing term for hundreds of disease states with numerous complications.
@GoodMusicRespect It's not a "cure" as people are claiming it to be. People really should educate themselves on medical literature more. Here's an article that someone I know worked on in terms of using nano-particles for gene therapy in cancer cells - note, after years of research and tons of money in grant, it's only addressing targeting iopscience.iop.org/0957-4484/20/43/434005 and in no way are they going around using the word "cure"
@GoodMusicRespect Also, please don't use YouTube or the standard news for your medical information. If you can cite me something on say PubMed that there's a "cure" or effective treatment with minimal side-effects for "cancer" then that'd be 10000x more reliable. I'm pretty sure the vast majority of journalists and news reports haven't even taken a General Biology course.
@kowtronik69skizmatic The news is only facts, it is a reliable source unless you're cynical and can't accept facts. Whether or not they took a general biology course they are not the ones being interviewed, unless you don't have the mental capacity to understand that.

My cousin, Angie was diagnosed with leukemia when she was three and died when she was 9. She was my best friend, favorite cousin and sister so it really hit me hard when she passed away. Now her brother, who is now 6, has been diagnosed with bone marrow cancer. This video has given me hope that he might have a different future than his sister's. Thank you Angela Zhang, thanks for at least trying. :)
25 fucking years? why? so they can torture every species of animal possible while millions of people die who could have been saved with this technology? the top comment was right, this is a conspiracy. if they wanted to help people they would try this on the terminally ill now and give them a shot at life. but that's not what they want.
@froggymicwop Conspiracy theorists seem to forget that the United States isn't the only country in the world. If there really was a highly effective, low side-effect treatment then I'm sure that nations that would have saved money (due to having universal healthcare - eg. France, Canada, etc.) from effectively treating it would have reported it by now. Instead they're also continuing to spend tons of money on research.
This is nothing! I would love to be proven wrong, but to me the future of cancer research is in photosensitive material injected into cancer cells, and with light shining on the cancer.
Which has been proven to work
I have no idea how many people have been to university,but i met a couple of my brothers friends and each and everyone are firstly going to great universities, and all have theories to fight cancer! And thats not different from other unis
@rorrt The difference is she make her "theory" into reality by creating the particle and how do you know is nothing? Are you a doctor/researcher about cancer? I dont know much about cancer, i bet u dont either, all the stuff u said have not been proven by any expert. What this student did has been recognized by experts and professionals.Doctors are dying to work with her so for u to say its nothing prove ur an idiot. Have you created anything to treat cancer? Thats right the answer is no
My flatmate whom i have had extensive conversations. And he has told me in great detail as to the proven effectiveness, and accuracy of photosensitive materials used against cancer. As he is a doctor working in that field.
And i am aware of about 2 friends, and about 6 other people in UK universities, UCL, LSE, and other London Hospital Universities. Who have made PhDs into fighting cancer, and different treatments.
So no i havent found a cure...But neither have those 8 doctors!
@rorrt So just because 8 doctors cant find anything, you automatically think that what this student did was crap because she's just a student? LMAO talk about ignorant, i dont even want to talk with you anymore cause ur just plain old dumb
Sad to rain on everyone's parade, but this shit has been around for a while. What this girl has is a MODEL, people. There's plenty of different models for this thing that are meant to achieve the exact same thing, and that came way before hers.
But still, it's fucking rad for a 17 year old girl, or any 17 year old, for that matter, still in highschool.
@unabomberman Completely agree. I'll bet her parents themselves are in research or health care and helped her out. My fiance's mother does cancer research and I sure used her a lot as a source for my projects in high school and did receive a full scholarship for undergrad. We also helped her edit her grants and publications (English isn't her first language, so the grammar was sometimes off) which gave us a big heads up on reading medical literature for graduate school.
Not really. It is just one of many models of targeted action against cancer cells, that works as an alternative to the scorched earth method of chemotherapy.
yo i want to know why my blatantly racist comment got thumbed up so much. i got responses saying i'm a bigot and stuff... but here's the thing. it's a general stereotype that is not true in all (or even most) cases, but there are enough cases where it's true to support the existence of a stereotype. obviously, michio kaku wasn't thinking about his parents when he became a theoretical physicist.
what this girl did was amazing, regardless of her race or upbringing.
The FDA will put a STOP to this IMMEDATLY. There is NO MONEY to be made CURING anything. Only the LONG DRAWN OUT CONSTANT battle against this killer makes money.
Sounds a bit like bullshit, a 17yr old girl does that in a 100 hours of work..a bit overhyped mayber ? people allways gets over excited with possible cancer treatments.
@morosepoet a 1000 a 100 000 still wouldnt seem right, scientist with huge experience have been working on this for years. Cancer is one of the best funded fields of medical research. It just seems off.
It is a good find and I guarantee a adult helped her, BUT they have known about this technology for a decade at least. Particle killing cancer cells has not worked a majority of the time or a majority of the time delivering drugs through particles to cancer cells has not worked. Just being honest about this not really a break through.
@Stamps600 A new nano particle. New. There are billions out there she discovered what may be the right one. And what do you mean an adult helped her. Don't be so ageist.
University of Alberta discovered a cure for cancer 4 years ago - injecting a concentrated dose of a cold virus eats away at cancer cells. Patients who go to the UofA hospital have been getting cured of many types of cancers for a couple years now.
Angela Zhang is a Chinese and she stole that top secret technology they were reserving for the rich while they were exploiting her for slave labor wages! GO ANGELA!
@doctormitch only if she's dumb enough to go to a school that expensive. $100,000 is enough to fund three full years of school and I'm sure she's got the credentials to receive scholarships to pay for the 4th year. that scholarship is nothing to sneeze at. still, she should receive a lot more than that for comming up with a cure for cancer and it's a tragedy that her discovery will take so long to actually be of help to any cancer patients
This is a great story and but seriously, all the money that has gone into Cancer research and this 17 year old kid has possibly found the cure in an attempt to win a scholarship? Something doesn't sound right.
I have been paid by my government for two years now TO STUDY XVII CENTURY LITERATURE, and this girl needs to find a cure for cancer to able to study full time? She needs to come to Brazil, lol...
good for her... I think she Made the particle she didn't invent it... check out those links
the method is already there since 2009 ! google Gold as a Cure for Cancer on ehow and google the Angela Zhang project and u will see it is the same...
This technology will in all likelihood be suppressed. Especially if it really works well. The last thing the med/big pharma industry wants is a cure for cancer.
@haiweigh they even have evidence claiming a cure for Hiv/aids using stem cell research.. (Germans) We never hear about this here.. THe medical community is shady..
@haiweigh well something like this was invented already in alberta. its used there and no drug company wants to use it because they dont get as much money (true story) look it up
@haiweigh At the same time, some of the biggest scientific advances came from young people. I think Isaac Newton invented calculus, discovered light refraction and gravity etc when he was like 20
@haiweigh It wouldn't exactly be easy to do something like this so I don't appreciate the negative connotations of "what a seventeen year old did", but it's an interesting point.
@haiweigh The girl is brilliant. However, you fail to realize that she did not invent the science from scratch. E.g., look up Gold nanocages for cancer imaging and therapy. They have been conjugating nanoparticles with antibodies to attach to cancer cells for a quite a while now. And they used low energy lasers to drive the nanocages at the resonant frequencies to kill the cancer cells. All these ideas are great---it's the implementation that's hard.You make it sound like scientists are lazy
@RufousOtter - "However, you fail to realize that she did not invent the science from scratch..."
.
What scientist does? Even Newton admitted he "stood on the shoulders of giants." That's why science works. That still doesn't lessen the worth of the science, nor the achievement of this young scholar.
@47f0 You are right and I agree. My point was that there is no conspiracy. There was no cover-up by the scientists to keep us dying from cancer. Her research is good and it builds on what was done before. It just really bothers me when someone says that scientific community conspires against the humanity.
Can you say horsefeathers? As it turns out, kids in their teens and early twenties can be pretty damned brilliant. I look back at some of the software I wrote at at that age, and I know I couldn't duplicate it today. Maybe we become more wise with age - but it's not clear that we become smarter - in fact, the opposite may be true.
I don't mean to sound like a dick, but… I'm really skeptical. A sophisticated, targeted nanoparticle isn't something you can just make in your garage with a screwdriver and an old flux capacitor. And the lack of concrete information doesn't help.
I think she must have made something really good for a 17-year-old, but probably not something that will have any meaningful impact in the field. I sure hope I'm wrong, though.
@Lexoka She's most likely been known as a child prodigy in her area all her life which granted her notoriety to professors and scientist alike. Which in turn, gave her access to facilities to help her in this project of hers. Genius kids like her are usually noticed and helped at a very early age.
A universal cure for all types of cancer? That is mind-blowing! I thought this day would never come. And it's been discovered by a 17-year-old schoolgirl. I know that it's going to have to go through a lot of trial, and it can even be deemed dangerous or uneffective, but boy am I excited, and I know it deserves every bit of the funding it's going to get.
Good for her and I hope they don't swindle her out of to much money if this thing ever actually gets used. The illogical conspiracy theory me thinks this will disappear soon or be "rejected" if it does work. Lots of money in cancer treatment and drugs that would disappear if this thing works so well.
@emperorsenshi Wow that's racist. Take everybody for who they are and what they do, not the stereotypes that surround someone's race, religion, and gender.
what i meant to get across with my comment is that we as people should take this girl as an example; an example of someone who uses her talents to further the cause of humanity. the irony of this whole thing is that she entered a scholarship competition; she didn't go to, oh, say, stanford and present her research.
asians (and all people) should care less about their own problems and try to do something with what they have.
@emperorsenshi - finally, a bigot that cares more about the advancement of stereotypes than pleasing the PC crowd - oh wait - that's not actually news, is it?
she is unbelievably amazing, she should definitely get waaaaay more than 100k! she is going to save lives! I am the same age as her and she has accomplished so much! I am jealous and inspired at the same time.
@g0dh4x Why do homosexuals make you so angry? Are they asking you to be homosexual? Are they raping you? You really have to stop and look inside yourself and ask. What is it about homosexuals that make ME so angry? You'd be surprised what you might find out about yourself. Maybe you're a homosexual and that angers you cause you haven't learned how to deal with it and come out yet. Usually the most outspoken opponents of homosexuality are homosexuals themselves.
@g0dh4x You have some serious issues if you hear something like this and you automatically think about homosexuals. What is your obsession with us even based on. Why such deep-rooted hatred for something that doesn't affect you in any way.
I hate to sound contrarian, but this also shows how money makes a difference in education. Don't get me wrong, Zhang should be proud of her win. But look at how nice the schools these finalists go to are. Think about all the potential that gets wasted because families can't afford to send their kids to nice schools. You wouldn't expect to see finalists for Siemens Competition come from your school would you? That's probably because you don't have as many tools available at your school.
Wow, seriously, some of those people hating on the fact that Ana highlights how this is good for women in science, think about it - that's good for science too. You think the other half of the population being encouraged to get involved in a field that could lead to even more cures is insignificant and not worth mentioning?
This girl whoever she is, is delusional if she thinks a school diploma is for her. Cancer is the #1 human killer, period. The research on this, if it actually works as promised, should be conducted by thousands of scientists and take a max of 5 years.
The fact she is going to waste her time learning science technique from teachers that could never accomplish what she has in their whole lifetimes is insane.
Don't feel too bad about how little she got compared to the worthless piles of dookie that make all the money in this country (and others.) Truth be told, we've had cures for cancer for a looong time!
If she patented her molecule drug companies won't touch it, she'll develop it at the university, and the university will patent it and she will get nothing for it. If she didn't patent it a pharmaceutical will claim it, patent it, and she won't make any money from it. Of course, it's always likely that a pharmaceutical will steal it and she will get nothing from it.But most likely nothing will happen because cancer is one of the health industry's cash cows.
It's a bit interesting how Anna feels that 1000 hours over nearly 3 years is SO much time and effort... TO FIND A CURE FOR FRIGGIN' CANCER.
There are people who have spent 20, 30, 40+ years on the same sorts of project and devoted hundreds of thousands of hours to the cause.
And I had some initial doubt in it being true since it is a girl who claims to be good at science... but then I noticed her name was Angela ZHANG. Yeah... Chinese girl. It could be true.
@TheFunkyDomination Welcome to adulthood, to the left we have booze to the right canes to shake at them young whippersnappers, and in the middle prescription drugs to make you feel better in any combination you'd like. ;-)
@TheFunkyDomination Lol I get that way sometimes too, like the worst is when you can tell it's going to rain because you feel like a bus just hit you. XD
By the way, women are starting to flood the sciences. Women have higher college graduation rates than men, overall higher GPA's, and need to work harder because if they mess around, society is dismissive of them because they are women.
100k is like a penny to them. They emphasize "possible cure" so that they can strip the credits from her findings so they'll be able to call it their own and become even more rich. That isnt going to be affordable at all when it becomes available.
Unfortunately, if anyone reads about her work and understands what exactly her particle does, this doesn't actually "cure" cancer. Rather, this is a very creative way of delivering already existing chemotherapy chemicals directly to the tumor rather than saturating the body with it. That will dramatically reduce chemotherapy side effects, which is always a plus. She still deserves a Nobel Prize for the concept (which would be a million dollars) since optimizing chemo therapy is a game changer.
@Lusionary (cont.) I just mention this because I've seen a lot of people call this a cure and know that whenever good medical breakthroughs fail to meet the hype there's eventually a backlash. This is a tremendous breakthrough, but it's important we focus on what it will do and not what we want it to do.
What it does is a tremendous step in the right direction, I just don't want anyone to look back and call it a hoax because cancer didn't vanish.
@ihaterobbie123 The science is actually pretty sound. When you look at the concept it's actually a very fancy chemistry trick that involves the thermal instability of some molecules with gold in them.
The chemical medication attached (salinomycin) is inert while it's bonded to the particles. Then, when you expose it to directed heat the molecule will break apart and release the original chemical from the bond. There's really very little reason why it wouldn't work.
@Lusionary Correcting myself, the "release" part has very little reason not to work. The "image-guided" part will definitely require some extensive testing. Using the MRI to guide the particles to the tumor is genius in its simplicity but could run into all sorts of obstacles.
The thing that troubles me about all of this "cure" talk is that salinomycin is a targeted therapy for cancer stem cells and, while it would improve survival rates, it probably wont be noticed by the public.
Whats the suprise, shes Asian.
Its like being shocked that the U.S sprint team is all Black.

@haiweigh The girl is brilliant. However, you fail to realize that she did not invent the science from scratch. E.g., look up Gold nanocages for cancer imaging and therapy. They have been conjugating nanoparticles with antibodies to attach to cancer cells for a quite a while now. And they used low energy lasers to drive the nanocages at the resonant frequencies to kill the cancer cells. All these ideas are great---it's the implementation that's hard.You make it sound like scientists are lazy

If she patented her molecule drug companies won't touch it, she'll develop it at the university, and the university will patent it and she will get nothing for it. If she didn't patent it a pharmaceutical will claim it, patent it, and she won't make any money from it. Of course, it's always likely that a pharmaceutical will steal it and she will get nothing from it.But most likely nothing will happen because cancer is one of the health industry's cash cows.

Unfortunately, if anyone reads about her work and understands what exactly her particle does, this doesn't actually "cure" cancer. Rather, this is a very creative way of delivering already existing chemotherapy chemicals directly to the tumor rather than saturating the body with it. That will dramatically reduce chemotherapy side effects, which is always a plus. She still deserves a Nobel Prize for the concept (which would be a million dollars) since optimizing chemo therapy is a game changer.
Lusionary 2 months ago
@Lusionary (cont.) I just mention this because I've seen a lot of people call this a cure and know that whenever good medical breakthroughs fail to meet the hype there's eventually a backlash. This is a tremendous breakthrough, but it's important we focus on what it will do and not what we want it to do.
What it does is a tremendous step in the right direction, I just don't want anyone to look back and call it a hoax because cancer didn't vanish.

ihaterobbie123 2 months ago
@ihaterobbie123 The science is actually pretty sound. When you look at the concept it's actually a very fancy chemistry trick that involves the thermal instability of some molecules with gold in them.
The chemical medication attached (salinomycin) is inert while it's bonded to the particles. Then, when you expose it to directed heat the molecule will break apart and release the original chemical from the bond. There's really very little reason why it wouldn't work.
Lusionary 2 months ago
@Lusionary Correcting myself, the "release" part has very little reason not to work. The "image-guided" part will definitely require some extensive testing. Using the MRI to guide the particles to the tumor is genius in its simplicity but could run into all sorts of obstacles.
The thing that troubles me about all of this "cure" talk is that salinomycin is a targeted therapy for cancer stem cells and, while it would improve survival rates, it probably wont be noticed by the public.
