The extract of marine algae may be the cure for cancer of the immune system known as lymphoma. This is indicated by preliminary results of research.

In this study, the researchers experimented with ingredients that were produced from algae, using them for treatment of lymphoma.

Previous studies have shown that an ingredient called Fucoidan, found in algae, kills tumor cells in mice and humans.

A new study found that an extract of algae kills cancer cells and leaves healthy.

Results of the study were presented March 11 at the conference of the American Association for Research in Cancer in Jordan.
