CANCER can be reversed. Yes, you heard it right. In a remarkable breakthrough, a team of scientists from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has developed a novel therapeutic approach to reverse cancer, offering new hope for millions of patients worldwide.

The scientists claimed the unique technique that promises to redefine cancer care could actually reverse cancer through reprogramming of malignant cells into non-cancerous state by inducing re-expression of differentiation associated genes in laboratory settings and animal models.
