Scientists claim they have found a cure for skin cancer – science fiction’s favourite plot device: cloning.
A 52-year-old man who was suffering from advanced skin cancer has been free of the disease for two years after going through the procedure.
The process – named ‘immunotherapy’ - involved taking cancer-fighting cells from the man’s immune system, making five billion copies of them and then putting them back.
Men may soon able to take a test that will tell them whether they are at a high risk of developing prostate cancer.
Boffins at Cancer Research UK believe such a test is possible within just four years following an incredible breakthrough in the genetic causes of the most common and aggressive cancer among men.

This is basically because DietPixie currently has no editor. Our former editor, Holly, recently had a baby and understandably found the stresses and strains of juggling the demands of a full-time job, website and motherhood a little too much.
But don’t worry. We are currently in the process of looking for a new editor and the site should be back up and running soon.
Want to throw your hat into the ring? Well, that’s great. We really believe in DietPixie and we want it to be a success.
