Destroying tumours from the inside out

Scientists at Tel Aviv University have developed a radioactive wire, less than an inch long and about the width of a pin.

As it breaks down, the tumour itself releases antigens, which trigger an immune response against the cancer cells, preventing the return of the tumour.
