A new experimental colorectal and ovarian cancer treatment for mice has produced some remarkable results: it was possible to eradicate advanced-stage ovarian cancer in as little as six days.

This new therapy is still being tested in mice, so we shouldn’t get too excited. The early signs of success are encouraging, and human clinical trials could begin by the end the year.

Tiny ‘drug factory” beads are used to treat the patient. They deliver a high-dose, continuous dose of interleukin-2 (IL2) to the body. This natural compound enlists white blood cell in the fight against the disease.
