In 1993, the Huntsman Cancer Institute opened at the University of Utah. Named after billionaire Jon M. Huntsman Sr., the facilities goal is to "to understand cancer from its beginnings, to use that knowledge in the creation and improvement of cancer treatments, to relieve the suffering of cancer patients, and to provide education about cancer risk, prevention, and care." The Huntsman Cancer Institute is credited with moving forward the progress of treating, and possibly curing the scourge that is cancer.
On Friday, the Huntsman Cancer Institute announced the discovery and implementation of a new technique that is set to replace chemotherapy. This new therapy, given the name Virus Buster, was developed by an Italian doctor who is a relative new comer in his field. In a statement, Dr. Mario explained how the new technique works.
"Rather than flooding the body with poison that effects the entire body, the Virus Buster technique sends in cancer and other pathogen fighting substances one by one. We attach tiny magnets to the substances and remotely control their placement down to the micrometer. This technique is highly effective while having minimal side effects on the human body. The only concern with using this technique is overdosing the body with disease fighting substances, which can lead to death.
News of this technique has spread slowly. Health insurance companies have been slow to adopt this technique. This is due to the it's low profit margin and the fact that it works. Scientists in China have stolen this technique, altered it slightly, and sold it on the black market for pennies on the dollar under the name YATC.
