Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem developed a new method to treat cancer using a protein extracted from the HIV virus. This protein can prevent the restoration of cancerous cells damaged by radiation therapy.

Soroka hospital and Ben Gurion University in Israel are developing a unique method to detect various types of cancer through a simple blood test. Researchers say that in a first trial conducted recently, they succeeded in detecting cancer in almost 90 percent of cancer patients tested.
