Recent research conducted by Hungarian scientists has successfully halted the growth of skin and lung cancers and achieved complete remission in cases of breast cancer, though only in animal experiments so far. The joint development by the HUN-REN Natural Sciences Research Centre (TTK) and Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) could mark a new era in the history of anti-tumour therapies, the HUN-REN Hungarian Research Network announced to MTI on Tuesday.
Remarkable efficacy in cancer treatment
Their findings, recently published in the journal Molecular Cancer, revealed how they managed to ‘tame’ a highly toxic, anti-cancer compound called pyrrolin-daunorubicin by encapsulating it within a liposomal nanocarrier. The researchers named this new compound LiPyDau (liposomal pyrrolin-daunorubicin), and its remarkable efficacy even surprised the scientists.
In animal trials, the compound successfully inhibited tumour growth in six different models, including melanoma and lung cancer models. Notably, in a hereditary breast carcinoma model, it resulted in complete remission—a groundbreaking achievement, hun-ren-hu wrote.

Effective even against drug-resistant tumours
A key breakthrough was that LiPyDau remained effective even against drug-resistant tumours—those which current clinical drugs struggle to treat, the researchers explained. Kristóf Hegedüs (HUN-REN TTK), who worked alongside Gábor Mező (ELTE) on synthesising the compound, shared that once they recognised the molecule’s potential, they began developing techniques to produce it in adequate quality and quantity. “This paved the way for animal testing,” he added.
The pyrrolin-daunorubicin compound is a thousand times more toxic to cancer cells than traditional drugs. However, delivering it without damaging healthy tissues was a challenge. That’s when the liposomal packaging idea was conceived—protecting healthy cells while enabling targeted accumulation in tumours. “That’s how LiPyDau was born,” explained Szilárd Tóth (HUN-REN TTK), who led the testing on cell lines.
Effect never seen before
One of the lead authors, András Füredi (HUN-REN TTK), noted that this isn’t just a potent medication, but based on their experience and existing literature, LiPyDau is one of the most effective anti-cancer compounds ever tested on mice.

“We’ve been working on cancer therapies for fifteen years, but we’ve never seen such a significant effect,” he emphasised. “A single dose of LiPyDau cured the experimental animals.”
The study was a collaborative effort of several research groups within HUN-REN TTK, including teams led by Gergely Szakács, Zoltán Varga, Pál Szabó, and Dávid Szüts. Magyar Csaba contributed in silico modelling of the molecule. These research teams had been working closely on this project for nearly a decade.
Clinical applications
Gergely Szakács, the project leader, highlighted the exemplary nature of the domestic collaboration. The project involved the National Drug Development Laboratory, HUN-REN Energy Science Research Centre, Óbuda University, Pécs University, the National Oncology Institute, and the Vienna University of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine. Additionally, Kineto Lab Ltd., one of Hungary’s leading oncology developers, assisted the team in preparing for clinical trials of LiPyDau.

Further tests are still necessary to determine whether these promising results can be translated into clinical applications. When asked when patients might benefit from LiPyDau and whether such experimental drugs could reach clinical practice, Attila Kigyós, founder and director of Kineto Lab Ltd., responded:
“LiPyDau is by far the most effective anti-tumour agent we’ve tested so far. We must do everything to develop it to the point where clinical trials are possible, or at least to attract the interest of a major pharmaceutical company willing to buy and develop it as an oncology product.”
The head of the developer company believes that LiPyDau has a strong chance of becoming one of Hungary’s own cancer medicines.

Great scientific work. This is how humanity makes progress and our lives better, with scientific discoveries based on research facts and evidence. Oh how much science could achieve if it was given more funding.
Ivermectin + Mebendazole show great promise also to treat cancers as well.
One is antiviral, the other is anti-worm. Don’t spread stupid and false information.
I am certain you were good little boy and were first in line to get you covid 19 vaccines and boosters as well. Congratulations. Any time someone tells me a vaccine with no clinical trials before it was mandated is good I automatically know it is dangerous. When a Cancer Dr. tellssomeone chemotherapy is good I know that it is not good. I stand with my previous post. IF a patient has a stage 4 cancer is given little time to live and is certain not long for the world and refuses chemotherapy but is willing to try an alternative course of treatment gets better I am all for that. If they are likely to die soon why make their end of life even more horrific with chemo? I say why not let them try what they want? Taking chemo in most cases makes a patients death more horrific because it also destroys whats left of their immune system.
Fantastic result. Congratulations to all involved.
BUT… (and that’s where it will all go wrong) is finding a pharmaceutical company willing to buy and develop it to start clinical trials. The pharmaceutical companies are all about keeping us sick because that generates more money.
Re “The pharmaceutical companies are all about keeping us sick because that generates more money.”
Yes, pretty much karine!
UNLESS the criminal mainstream medicine mega business makes money of it they’re not interested!
Just look at the bigger picture on the bogus “war on cancer” …
Most people would be much smarter and better informed if they had awareness of what the “war on cancer” movement (and the “Breast Cancer Awareness” movement, etc) does NOT raise awareness about.
The official mainstream “war on cancer” has been an unofficial “war” on the unsuspecting public: to keep them misinformed and misguided about the real truth of this “war.” The latest program/”promise” (such as with gene therapies or the AI hype) is an extension or reincarnation of the enduring deep racket.
This PHONY official “war” was never meant to be won but to be CONTINUED (preferably endlessly, at least for decades) so that the criminal BIG allopathic medical business (the medical mafia) built around it makes insane profits and defrauds the general naive/foolish public, which they’ve been doing successfully … so “THEY ARE winning THEIR war against the general forever-naive/forever-foolish public”..
The orthodox cancer establishment has been saying a cure for cancer “is just around the corner” and “we’re winning the war on cancer” for decades. It’s almost all hype and lies (read Dr. Guy Faguet’s ‘War on cancer,” Dr. Sam Epstein’s work, or Clifton Leaf’s book, or Dr. Siefried’s work on this bogus ‘war’, etc). The criminal medical establishment deliberate and falsely self-servingly claims and distorts a ‘win’ in the bogus ‘war on cancer’ when the only truly notably win is a reduction in lung cancer mortality due to a huge reduction in smoking (eg ca. 40% reduction of the overall cancer death rate in men between 1990-2006 was because of a large reduction in cigarette smoking [https://tinyurl.com/ypk4ccyj]), which has NOTHING to do with their cancer treatments. Lying is their mode of operation.
Since the war on cancer began orthodox medicine hasn’t progressed in their basic highly profitable therapies: it still uses primarily and almost exclusively highly toxic, deadly things like radiation, chemo, surgery, and drugs that have killed millions of people instead of the disease [see the documentary “Cut, Poison, Burn” or this documentary — https://tinyurl.com/287ypmtp%5D.
And the most current bogus claims/lies about mRNA “vaccines” against cancer is pure hype because they are a cause of turbo cancer [https://slaynews.com/news/renowned-oncologist-evil-covid-vaccines-caused-turbo-cancer-explosion & https://www.jpands.org/vol30no3/zywiec.pdf%5D! Several honest doctors warned in 2025 that “modified mRNA COVID-19 biologics/vaccines and the unchecked expansion of next-generation mRNA biologics, paints a chilling picture of deliberate design and systemic harm” [https://www.jpands.org/vol30no3/zywiec.pdf]. Who, in their RIGHT mind does not see (or want to see) after the Planned Covid Genocide that mainstream allopathic medicine is a medical mafia to never trust at all and avoid doing business with as much as possible?
“[…] you better to learn to trust yourself and face the truth: you are surrounded by mass deception, on a worldwide scale. […]. So if you think these people wouldn’t mess with your head, think again. […]. But you can fix this current problem with a flick of your own switch. Just stop believing these people. Don’t buy what they are selling, whether it is history, psychology, art, science, or medicine. Tell them to take their projects elsewhere, preferably up their own behinds.” — Miles Mathis, American author, 2019
As long as the official “war on cancer” is a HUGE BUSINESS based on expensive TREATMENTS (INTERVENTIONS) of a disease instead of its PREVENTION, logically, they will never find a cure for cancer. The moonshot-war on cancer inventions, too, includes industry-profitable gene therapies of cancer treatment that are right in line with the erroneous working model of mechanistic reductionism of allopathic medicine.
The lucrative game of the medical business is to endlessly “look for” a cure but not “find” a cure. Practically all resources in the phony ‘war on cancer’ are poured into TREATMENT of cancer but almost none in the PREVENTION of the disease. Eg, Heidi Williams, the director of science policy at the Institute for Progress, explained that from the time the “War on Cancer” was announced, in 1971, until 2015, only six drugs were approved to prevent any cancer. From 1973 to 2011, nearly 30,000 trials were run for drugs that treated recurrent or metastatic cancer, compared with fewer than 600 for cancer prevention.
It’s IRREFUTABLE PROOF POSITIVE that BIG MONEY and a TOTAL LACK OF ETHICS rule the official medical establishment.
It’s just like with any bogus official “war” (‘war on drugs’, ‘war on terrorism’, ‘war on covid’ etc) — it’s not about winning these wars but to primarily prolong them because behind any of these fraudulent “war” rackets of the criminal establishment is a Big Business, such as the massive cancer industry. The very profitable TREATMENT focus of conventional medicine, instead of a PREVENTION focus which these official medical quacks (or rather crooks) can hardly make any money off, is a major reason why today 1 of 2 men and 1 in 3 women can expect a cancer diagnosis at some point in their lifetimes (https://tinyurl.com/ypk4ccyj) yet that rate was multiple times lower 5 decades ago when the phony ‘war on cancer’ began (1 in about 16) and the current much higher rate cannot at all be attributed solely to an aging population. And 5 decades ago when this bogus war began cancer was the second leading cause of death and 50 years later it is STILL the second leading cause of death in the country this “war” was declared in (https://tinyurl.com/ypk4ccyj). These facts alone prove we are NOT winning the war on cancer.
At the same time, this same orthodox cancer cartel has been suppressing and squashing a number of very effective and beneficial alternative cancer approaches [see the documentary “Cut, Poison, Burn” or this documentary — https://tinyurl.com/287ypmtp%5D. You probably guessed why: effective, safe, inexpensive cancer therapies are cutting into the astronomical profits of the medical mafia’s lucrative treatments. That longstanding decadent activity is part of the fraud of the war on cancer.
If the public were to scrutinize what the medical industry and its government pawns are telling them about the ‘war on cancer’ instead of blindly believing what they’re saying, they’d find that the cancer industry and the cancer charities have been dismissing, ignoring, and obfuscating the true causes of cancer while mostly putting the blame for cancer on the individual, denying or dismissing the serious harms from orthodox cancer treatments and chemical toxicants, and resorting to deceptive cancer statistics to “educate” (think: mislead) the public that their way of treatment is actually successful — read this well referenced scholarly article’s (“A Mammogram Letter The British Medical Journal Censored”) afterword on the war on cancer at https://www.rolf-hefti.com/mammogram.html (scroll down to the afterword that addresses the fraudulent ‘war on cancer’).
What the medical establishment “informs” the public about is about as truthful as what the political establishment keeps telling them. Not to forget, the corporate media (the mainstream fake news media) is a willing tool to spread these distortions, lies, and the scam of the war on cancer.
Does anyone really think it’s a coincidence that double Nobel laureate Linus Pauling called the ‘war on cancer’ a fraud? If you look closer you’ll come to the same conclusion. But…politics and self-serving interests of the conventional medical cartel, and their allied corporate media, keep the real truth far away from the public at large. Or people’s own denial of, or indifference to, the real truth.
Thank you Boris for elaborating on the subject with all the required links for further information.
