Scientists achieve remarkable cure for breast cancer in mice within two weeks.

Scientists at Fudan University in Shanghai have developed a tiny implanted battery that has cured mice of breast cancer in just two weeks. The device creates a tiny current in salt water injected into surrounding tumour tissue which soaks up oxygen, starving cancer cells of oxygen. The technique also boosts the effectiveness of special drugs injected to target areas of hypoxic cells. The battery is self-charging and lasts up to 500 hours. However, the costs and benefits of the battery's use in people need to be assessed before human treatment.
