A team of scientists in Australia succeeded in developing a new virus that can kill the cancerous cells.

The laboratorial experiments proved that program achieved a great success.

The virus was developed from one causes cowpox and tumors at rats; it reduced the areas infected with  tumors.

Dr Youman Fung, a US expert in oncology, hopes that the new method of treatment  can deter all kinds of cancer that infect the humans, especially cancers of lung, breast, bladder, stomach, large and small intestines.

Experts will introduce that new program to humans by next year.

Dr. Fung warns that the new virus may be able to come over the cancerous cells of the human body.

But he is still optimistic that previous experiments registered success in treating various types of cancer.

He affirmed that the viruses killed cells of cancer since the first years of the 20th century when tumors disappeared from people vaccine against rabies.

Some scientists warn that the cowpox’s virus may be more poisonous for the human body and they can kill then.    https://see.news/from-sun-to-earth-how-to-save-world-from-fossil-fuel-danger/

Dr Fung stressed that the modified virus should be re-engineered to kill the harmful cells only.

Virus cowpox has protected people against smallpox since 200 years as it isn’t harmful for humans.

It will be safe when it is used as a source of treatment of cancerous cells.

Scientists expect that the modified cowpox’s  virus head toward the infected places and make them explode later.

The immunity system will kill the still infected parts with tumors.

It is worth mentioning that a tumor is an abnormal growth of cells that serves no purpose.

A benign tumor is not a malignant (harmful) tumor, which is cancer.

It does not invade nearby tissue or spread to other parts of the body the way cancer can. In most cases, the outlook with benign tumors is very good. But benign tumors can be serious if they press on vital structures such as blood vessels or nerves.

All begin tumors convert to be maligning ones after sixty years.

Therefore, sometimes they require treatment and other times they do not.
