Probably too good to be true but let's hope.
Potential cancer breakthrough as 'groundbreaking' pill annihilates ALL types of solid tumors in early study

Scientists have developed a holy grail cancer drug that kills all solid cancer tumors while leaving other cells unharmed.
The new molecule targets a protein present in most cancers that helps tumors grow and multiply in the body.
It is significant because this protein - the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)- was previously thought to be 'undruggable'.
The drug was tested on 70 different cancer cells in the lab - including those derived from breast, prostate, brain, ovarian, cervical, skin, and lung cancer - and was effective against them all.
The pill is the culmination of 20 years of research and development by the City of Hope Hospital in Los Angeles, one of America's largest cancer centers.
