Subject A new incredible discovery to fight blood cancer, and it's 100% made in Belgium!
Programme summary
The Belgians have cured cancers! The researchers of Lucas Willems team, at the laboratory for molecular biology at Gembloux, discovered a family of molecules which could perhaps one day be able to cure certain cancers, of which leukaemia is the one of the most terrifying cancers. Following a lengthy study coupled with, a series of brilliant deductions, the researchers were amazed by the complete cure of a sheep that was suffering from an enormous cancerous tumour in the neck. What is the secret? A drug, which until now has been used to treat epilepsy, has the added capability to force the cancer cells to die. The best part is that by repeating the experiment on other sheep, this same result was also repeated!
