Using the bodies own immune system to target the cancer cells!!

Sounds very positive, samsc, and would be absolutely wonderful. I think that more knowledge of how the immune system works would benefit a whole lot of conditions. But a cure for cancer - that would be amazing.

There´s a cure for and a cause of some kind of cancer every week in The Daily Mail. Perhaps The Telegraph is after their readers.

I shall bow to your expertise regarding the contents of the Daily Mail

'Dr Kat Arney, science information manager at Cancer Research UK, said: "There are several groups around the world investigating treatments that target MUC1, as it's a very interesting target involved in several types of cancer.'

Perhaps worth keeping an eye on?

That's DR. Arney just being nice.

Here's a slightly more positive note which my be of interest to readers of the Murdoch Press (Yours for Scotland, ECK™).

Bayer HealthCare will present a combined analysis from Phase I and II clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of one of its lead investigational cancer treatments, Alpharadin™ (radium-223 chloride), in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) that has spread to the bones (metastases).

Reported in the Daily Mail a year later as A new prostate cancer drug trial has been so successful doctors have decided to stop it early.

Medics at London's Royal Marsden Hospital were testing a powerful alpha radiation drug on 461 people while another group of the same number were being treated with a dummy drug.
Patients taking the new drug experienced less pain, side effects and lived longer.
Researchers were so astounded with the results they decided to stop the trial and started treating all 922 patients taking part in the study because they said it would be unethical not to.

Glad to see the issue of ethics coming up.
