The team at Ottawa's Hospital Research Institute hope the breakthrough could provide a new and effective weapon in the fight against the disease.

  • The problem with viruses is that they mutate. Otherwise, they could be turned into miracle cures for all diseases.

  • @eastcoaster54 I know cancer isn't a virus, it has to do with the mitochondria malfunctioning. Google: Canadian doctors find cure for cancer & there's a nice little info graphic....

    A cure I'd stand by is dichloroacetate (DCA)

  • @DarlingGreen Cancer is not a virus . Cancer is human cell gone wrong . Or a group of human cells that share a grandparent with an error in its DNA code. A colony of cells , if they all shared a common ancestor , ccould be a tumor , because all the cells have error in DNA they carry out a erroneous function. Human cells gone worng

    A virus is a micro organism, ( a very simple one, a collection of organic molecules) a bacteria is much more complex

    Virus = ideal platform against cance

  • mb this is nonsense put out to establish a base for them putting out cancer vaccines or something. but vaccines usually have viruses in them... but I didn't think cancer is a virus, so what virus would be in there? I think I'll stick with DCA

  • Proof Marijuana CURES Cancer and Marijuana A Chronic History ..please watch this here in youtube..

  • omfg

  • This is silly. Mega-doses of vitamin C has shown to destroy cancer. Hemp oil has shown to destroy cancer....
