A cancer drug that destroys the deadly cells which give birth to tumours has been developed by U.S. scientists.
It has already worked against breast cancer and offers hope to those with cancer of the prostate, skin or bowel.
The drug selectively kills cancer stem cells which help tumors grow and spread the disease through the body. Unlike other cancer cells, stem ‘mother’ cells are resistant to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, allowing cancer to return after treatment.
Oh my, what wonderful, wonderful news! Several people in my family have had to battle cancer (some more than once), and to think that this is something that may prevent it from returning is amazing! Thank you for sharing this. I will forward this to all my friends. 🙂
