The whole world is waiting for a sustainable and effective method of treatment that can fight against cancer. Some prominent doctors and researchers in the UK may create a revolutionary change in cancer treatment.

A new treatment therapy, mRNA therapy, has been established. A trial has been conducted to evaluate its safety and efficacy.

This therapy will work to treat melanoma, lung cancer, and other solid tumors.

According to the interview with Dr. David Pinato of Imperial College London (he is a part of the research team) published in the Guardian, this research work is in its early stages. This mRNA therapy has been administered to some patients at Hammersmith Hospital in London. They are working on it.

He also said it could take years to make this immunotherapy available for all patients.

They are focusing on less toxic side effects and more efficacy. If this therapy is safe and the patients with lung or skin cancers can tolerate it in their body; it will be able to shrink tumors. It may be administered alone or with some other drugs to treat these patients.

If this trial is successful, the world will get a shield to fight against the cancer.
