Research: Hope in cancer fight

Scientists have new hope in the fight against cancer after finding a treatment that works better than chemotherapy. Powerful chemotherapy drugs often fail to kill all of a tumour’s cells so some cancers return. Now scientists say they have found a way to prompt the immune system into helping kill the remaining cancer cells. It has only been proven to work in the laboratory but trials on people could start within five years.
