Possible Cure To Cancer?

The discovery has been made by researchers that stem cells in tumors for brain cancer help keep the tumor to continue growing. Getting rid of these specific stem cells could begin the discovery for new and different kinds of treatments for a variety of cancers. This is the first time scientists have been able to find stem cells in solid tumors other than leukemia and breast cancer tumors. This discovery was made through experimenting with mice. This newly found information has given researchers hope on further discoveries that could eventually provide huge improvements in cancer treatments. Brain cancer is known to be one of the quickest growing and most deadly types of cancer existent in humans. Finding these cancer stem cells was a great key in fighting against these tumors. http://www.wired.com/news/medtech/0,1286,65735,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_7.
