SUM UP.

A herpes virus genetically modified can stop the progression of more aggressive skin cancer, by selective elimination of tumor cells and activating the body's defenses, according to results of a clinical trial involving 436 patients published today.

Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer. Each year 132,000 new cases worldwide occur, according to the World Health Organization. In Spain, 90% of women and 74% of men survive more than five years to this type of malignancy.

OPINION.

Personally, I think all the economic funds must be dedicated to finding cures for terminal diseases and no end.

I think a breakthrough discovery of the variant of herpes that can solve the problem.
