'Seek-and-destroy' cancer gene therapy result hailed

Scientists at Strathclyde University in Glasgow have probably discovered an effective technique to treat hard-to-reach cancer tumours. The ‘seek-and-destroy’ therapy has been tested and the results were positive; 90 per cent of the skin cancer tumours disappeared. The scientists are now going to test this technique on other forms of cancer in order to see if it works for these forms. According to Dr Christine Dufès, who led the research, we may believe in a ‘breakthrough’ when this technique works. Due to this ‘seek-and-destroy’ technique doctors will be able to not only shrink the tumours, but also to vanish them.

My opinion / reaction:
I hope that this technique will be a breakthrough because cancer already made to many victims in my point of view. I hope that doctors can heal all forms of cancer within ten years, so that the world is free of cancer. I feel blessed that there is no one in my family who died of cancer, but I do know people who died because of it. If somebody in a society or family has cancer, it will have effect on many people. Therefore, I hope that this ‘seek-and-destroy’ technique will work on every form of cancer.
