August 15, 2019 3:29 am0 Adibe Emenyonu in Benin City A Medical Consultant and Radiation Oncologist in Benin City, the Edo State capital, Dr. Oludare Folajimi Adeyemi has made a major breakthrough in the treatment of the dreaded prostrate cancer. Following the breakthrough, some medical experts said the illness was now a common thing in the hands of Adeyemi since his discovery of the tested ‘Brachytherapy (implant) treatment for prostrate cancer. Speaking with journalists after performing a round of treatment on some patients at the LA Oncology Clinic, Benin City, Adeyemi said the disease was the commonest cancer ailment amongst men, noting that one out of every seven men was likely to develop it. The prostrate cancer treatment expert disclosed that prostrate brachytherapy was a unique form of treating the disease, especially as the new treatment was not only affordable but less time consuming. “Although, there are other options of treating prostrate cancer, the Brachytherapy method is unique, accurate and offers high degree of cure to the patient with prostrate cancer, especially when it is done at the early stage of the disease. “In this discovery of mine, what we do is to implant a radioactive inside the prostrate and begin to release radiations which ended up killing the cells. It damages what we call DNA and when DNA is damaged, the cells cannot actually produce any longer.” Speaking on behalf of the President, Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), second Vice President, Dr. Ofene Enang commended Adeyemi for the breakthrough, saying the association will continue to such initiative. While describing the radiation brachytherapy as new form of therapy in the treatment of prostrate cancer, Enang said NMA was at the forefront of canvassing for reversal of medical tourism in the country. Earlier, a US based oncologist, Dr. Maghari, Rachid described the breakthrough as a blessing to Nigerians, adding that it will discourage the idea of travelling abroad for prostrate treatment. https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2019/08/15/nigerian-doctor-makes-medical-breakthrough-in-prostrate-cancer-treatment/ 21 Likes 5 Shares |

Radiation can never be a cure for any cancer .. Brachytherapy implant radiation therapy has been around for ages so why is he claiming to own it .

FarahAideed:Up to a century old infact. I don't think the Dr actually ascribed the innovation to himself because he knows aside not being true,it would make a mockery of his professional credentials. I feel it's the average Nigerian journalist that wrote the report,as is common with some of them in Nigeria,that are more or less glorified bloggers;they don't read and don't research,despite the riches of the internet.They just write a report and conjure all types of fallacies,assumptions and figures and it on as fact. The Dr cannot be that foolish to claim discovery of brachytherapy 48 Likes 1 Share |

Ritchiee: Nothing hear from any expert here , like doctorwus said the therapy is almost a 100 years old and it's possible an overzealous Nigerian journalist didn't understand the good doctor when he said he was the first to implement it in Edo state maybe . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfjReGpA-_4 3 Likes |

It damages what we call DNA and when DNA is damaged, the cells cannot actually produce any longer.## Or....maybe it is a breakthrough only in Nigeria here. ![]() 8 Likes |

I the obscene amount the present istration put into the aso rock clinic but at the slightest head, the tourist president jet out for a medical tour, if only those looters at the top put half of what they announced into building a world class medical institute for research and development the kind of breakthroughs that would have been coming out of Nigeria would have no limits African presidents would be visiting this country for medical check ups but that would never happen because our so called change and next level is rather taking us through a negative change and next level back wards but still have miscreants hailing them even on nairaland. 1 Like |
