Pioneering stem cell treatment for lung cancer to be trialled in the UK

The video discusses an experimental cancer treatment using bone marrow stem cells that target tumors and activate an anti-cancer gene. Tested on mice, the treatment shows promise, with tumors cleared in some cases. The stem cells, which do not trigger immune responses, can be mass-produced and stored for use. The treatment offers hope for lung cancer patients, with trials planned to ensure safety and effectiveness. The approach could extend to other cancers, highlighting the need for further research and development.

What is the significance of the Medical Research Council funding a trial of the treatment?

What potential does the treatment have for other types of cancer beyond lung cancer?
