Menjaga kesehatan payudara bisa mendatangkan banyak manfaat. Selain menunjang fungsi utamanya sebagai penghasil air susu, payudara yang sehat juga memperkuat sistem pertahanan tubuh karena mampu memproduksi senyawa antikanker alami. Kenapa? Karena sel-sel payudara yang sehat diketahui mampu memproduksi Interleukin 25 (IL25), yakni sejenis protein yang mampu melawan sel kanker. Dalam tubuh manusia, protein ini berfungsi mengaktifkan sistem kekebalan tubuh ketika terjadi inflamasi atau radang.
Bukan hanya mengaktifkan sistem kekebalan tubuh, IL25 juga mampu memasuki sel-sel kanker dan memicu mekanisme ‘self destruction‘ yang membuat sel-sel kanker akan menghancurkan diri sendiri. Hebatnya lagi, IL25 pandai mengenali sel-sel kanker sehingga tidak merusak sel-sel normal.
Kemampuan sel-sel payudara dalam memproduksi IL25 terungkap dalam penelitian Dr Mina Bissel, seorang ahli kanker payudara dari Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Penelitian tesebut dipublikasikan dalam jurnal Science Translational Medicine.
“Kami mengungkap bahwa sel payudara yang normal punya mekanisme tersendiri untuk melawan sel kanker. Mekanisme ini bisa jadi target baru untuk terapi kanker,” ungkap Dr Bissel seperti dikutip dariMedicalnewstoday, Jumat (15/4/2011).
Sel payudara yang menghasilkan IL25, Mammary Epithelial Cell (MEC) sebenarnya memproduksi 6 jenis senyawa antikanker. Namun dari keenam senyawa tersebut, IL25 teramati paling dominan dalam mekanisme perlawanan terhadap pertumbuhan sel kanker.
Saat ini WHO mencatat, kanker merupakan penyakit pembunuh terbanyak nomor 2 setelah kardiovaskular (jantung dan pembuluh darah). Kanker paru-paru paling banyak memakan korban jiwa, sementara kanker payudara paling banyak diderita di kalangan perempuan.
Lalu bagaimana cara merawat payudara agar senantiasa sehat? Simak aja tips-tips di tips merawat payudara yang sudah pernah kami tulis sebelumnya 
Healthy Breasts Alone Can Produce Anticancer
Maintaining breast health can bring many benefits. In addition to support its primary function as a producer of milk, the healthy breast as well as strengthen the body's defense system capable of producing a natural anticancer compounds. Why? Because the cells of healthy breasts known to produce interleukin 25 (IL25), which is a type of protein that can fight cancer cells. In the human body, these proteins activate the immune system to function when there is inflammation or inflammation.Not only activate the immune system, IL25 is also able to enter cancer cells and trigger mechanism 'self-destruction' that makes cancer cells to destroy themselves. Amazingly, IL25 clever to recognize the cancer cells so as not to damage the normal cells.
The ability of breast cells to produce IL25 revealed in the research of Dr. Mina bissel, a breast cancer expert from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Tesebut research published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
"We revealed that normal breast cells have their own mechanisms to fight cancer cells. This mechanism could be a novel target for cancer therapy," said Dr. Medicalnewstoday bissel was quoted as saying on Friday (04/15/2011).
Breast cells that produce IL25, Mammary Epithelial Cell (MEC) actually produces six types of anticancer compounds. But of these six compounds, IL25 was observed most dominant in the mechanism of resistance to the growth of cancer cells.
Currently the WHO noted, most cancer is a disease of the number 2 killer after cardiovascular (heart and blood vessels). Lung cancer is the most casualties, while breast cancer most common cancer among women.
