Breakthrough cancer therapy stops tumor growth without harming healthy cells

Scientists have found a new way to stop cancer growth without damaging healthy cells. Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute and Vividion Therapeutics discovered a compound that blocks the signal telling cancer cells to grow and divide. The treatment worked in mice with lung and breast tumors and didnt cause harmful side effects seen in earlier drugs. Now entering human trials, this breakthrough could open the door to safer, more precise cancer therapies.
