Cancer Treatment, the Future of Healthcare?
Summary
A new treatment against cancer may have
been found. Scientists suggest the reovirus has the power to shrink tumours.
Normally the reovirus cause stomach aches and mild colds. This virus is
injected in the bloodstream and it focuses on the cancer cells. This therapy
has been tested on 10 patients with all tumours and the cancer cells had been
spread to the liver. Shortly after the treatments the patients’ blood was
tested and the virus only ran on the red blood cells, so the good cells were
left alone. If this treatment gets through all the tests it might be able to
treat a broad range of cancers. This new therapy is real promising and the best
of all, there are probably less side-effects. Words: 124
Opinion
I think this is a break through. I am very
glad that the most horrible disease might be cured in the future. You can’t say
anything bad about this article because it is only good news. This treatment
needs to be researched better I guess, and be tested well, but overall I think
this treatment gives hope. I know cancer is a horrible disease because of my
experience, and I know a lot of people have. Overall I hope this treatment will
be the future of healthcare. Words: 87
