Immunotherapy and a virus could cure breast cancer

A combination of immunotherapy and a virus could treat aggressive breast cancer, an 'absolutely amazing' study has revealed.

Breakthrough research showed the pairing cured up to 90 per cent of mice plagued by triple negative breast cancer - deemed the deadliest form.

Canadian scientists are hopeful the findings will lead to a potential cure, as survival depends on how early the disease is caught.

The trial, led by Ottawa University scientists, comes as a separate study found that an injection of a virus could also treat aggressive brain tumours.
