A new, better way to cure cancer has been developed by a team of researchers formed from two varsities in Canada.

Researchers from McGill University, Université de Montréal and Polytechnique Montréal have developed nanorobots that can travel down the bloodstream to administer drugs precisely by targeting a tumor’s cancer cells.
This is the best way to inject cancer medication since the integrity of the healthy tissues and organs won’t be jeopardized. It also means that the dosage of the drug could be reduced, which is significant because the drug is very toxic for humans.
The nanorobotic agents hold no less than 100 million bacteria, which are full of drugs and take a direct path from the injection site to the part of the body that needs to be cured. The propelling force of the drug is strong enough to enter the tumors deeply and to travel efficiently.
When they enter a specific tumor they can automatically detect the tumor areas that have been depleted of oxygen, in order to deliver the medicine to them.
