Researchers may have found a drug to kill all cancers 

Researchers at Stanford University may have found a drug that kills all different types of cancers, according to a report in Science Magazine. 

The report says researchers first discovered the basis of this treatment 10 years ago, and have been working on testing and developing it ever since. 

A protein called CD47 is the key to the drug and treatment, and in the latest testing it was successful at killing human breast, ovary, colon, bladder, brain, liver, and prostate tumors that were transplanted into mice. 

However, other scientists say much more research is needed to determine if the treatment and drug is viable for humans. 

"The microenvironment of a real tumor is quite a bit more complicated than the microenvironment of a transplanted tumor, and it's possible that a real tumor has additional immune suppressing effects," Tyler Jacks of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told Science Magazine.
