Cancer Drug Hope

They have found something new that they feel will help with cancer cures. Scientists say that they may be able to make cancer fighting drugs target tumors far more effectively by using ultra-violet light to activate them. Certain antibodies are seen as a key weapon in the fight against cancer. But they can attack healthy tissue as well. Researchers say they have found ways to make antibodies only respond when light is shined. The UV light is shined at the sight of the tumor to activate the antibodies. They are having high hopes for this treatment.
