Incredible Amazon, has developed a drug against cancer: now under consideration by the FDA

Amazon surprises everyone by announcing that it has developed an anti-cancer drug. In detail, Jeff Bezos’ company worked hand in hand with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle to create a drug that specifically treats breast cancer and melanomas.

The drug has already passed the preliminary examination of the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration, the US government body that deals with the regulation of food and pharmaceutical products, and now it will have to be tested for about a year, before its actual use to treat cancer patients. As reported by Dday.it, the goal of Amazon and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle was to identify and develop a cancer cure that was cheaper compared to current treatments in use, and above all more specific, as, unlike chemotherapy, it allows you to act more precisely in the area affected by the tumor.
