American researchers will soon start a human trial to determine whether a treatment that can eradicate cancer in mice will do the same in people.

The treatment will transfuse specific white blood cells, called granulocytes, into patients with advanced forms of cancer. The granulocytes will come from healthy young people with immune systems that produce cells that have high levels of anti-cancer activity.

In the animal studies, white blood cells from cancer-resistant mice cured all lab mice who had malignant tumours. The cells have also been able to kill cervical, prostate and breast cancer tumour cells in Petri dish tests.

"All the mice we treated were 100 per cent cured," lead researcher Dr. Zheng Cui told CTV News. "So that was very surprising for us."

Lol. Just came from "The Final Year: Hell on Earth" (RP Section), see this thread, read tricky's comments and instantly remember I am Legend. It's awesomely scary lol =D

Of course it won't happen (or so we say and hope) but it's good that there's finally a possible cure for cancer! =D

I hope the cancer cells don't evolve (like almost every other thing we make a cure for) and becomes immune to the transplanted blood cells D=.
