Japanese researchers have learned to kill cancer cells with a single injection.

Japanese researchers have developed a new technique that could potentially treat multiple types of cancer with a single injection of the drug. It also causes fewer side effects. Scientists injected mice with a substance to emit small amounts of alpha radiation, which kills cancer cells but spares healthy tissue. The survival rate of experimental animals reached 100%. Doctors hope that this method can be used to treat cancer at a very early stage, even if it is not known exactly where the tumor is located. A variant of this technique is already being tested as a way to diagnose at the cellular level.
