Summary:
The Daily Mail reports on a new cell transplant procedure to treat cancer patients:
"Cancer sufferers are being given pioneering mini cell transplants that "reverse" conventional treatment. The ground-breaking procedure uses stem cells taken from donor blood, making it safer and faster for patients. ...low doses of chemotherapy stun tumour cells into submission for a short period of time, while injections of donor stem cells can take hold within the body and multiply. The transplanted cells then take up the battle against the cancer. The technique also removes the need for donors to undergo an operation to extract the bone marrow which contains stem cells.'
