The drug, called combretastatin, works by destroying the developing blood vessels which tumors generate to supply themselves. Used on its own, however, it leaves a 'rim' of cancerous cells at the edge, allowing the disease to return.
Radiation therapy completes the attack on the tumour by ensuring all the leftover cells are killed off. Antibodies with radioactive 'warheads' home in on the disease cells and destroy them.
George,
Looks remarkably similar to a 2015 story:
clinicalvirology.org/news/c...
"A drug made from tree bark is being combined with radiation therapy to cure cancer, experts revealed yesterday.
"The ‘double whammy’ has proved 85 per cent effective in laboratory trials.
"Last night the treatment was being hailed as a breakthrough in the battle against the disease which kills 133,000 Britons every year."
& so on.
The Daily Mail online has a habit of posting old news under the current date.

thanks for that -- I had remembered seeing an article about a drug that killed off all but the outer ring of cancer cells --but I didn't remember they had found a solution by adding radiation. I wonder what the status of the drug testing is to date?
