'Holy Grail' Cancer Drug

How many times have we heard about great cancer breakthroughs that grab headlines, raise hopes-- and cash-- and then vanish without a trace? Too many times. Here's another "Holy Grail" cancer drug. This one claims to work against all cancers.

"In lab tests, the as-yet-unnamed drug so far seems to kill all cancer cells; if it continues to perform as well in human trials, it could revolutionize cancer treatment..."

It's a lot like buying lottery tickets, I guess. We continue to hope one of these stories will come true. Cancer researchers have despaired of finding one drug that would fight all cancers since cancer itself is so many diseases. If this works it will be the elusive "magic bullet". Maybe.
