SCIENTISTS will today reveal the “holy grail” of cancer treatment, a smart drug that destroys the disease without unpleasant side effects.
The new treatment, dubbed the “stealth bomber”, has already increased survival rates among patients with advanced breast cancer and could be adapted to fight all forms of the disease.
If more trials, now under way, confirm these results it could be widely available within two years.
Professor Paul Ellis, from Guy’s Hospital in London, one of the leading researchers in the field, said: “This is an incredible drug. We’ve been looking for something like this for 20 years and it is the first of its kind. The concept of a drug like this which increases survival with far less side effects is the holy grail of cancer medicine. This approach also has the potential to be used in other tumour types.”
