A cancer cure in just one jab? British scientists say they have found the disease's 'Achilles heel' paving the way for 'revolutionary' new treatments

Landmark work funded by Cancer Research UK has uncovered mutations that are found in every cancer cell raising hopes that the body's immune system could be trained to destroy them in what the charity say could prove 'a revolutionary way to treat or even cure' the disease. 

Trials on the first patients are expected within two years and the co-author of the study, Professor Charles Swanton, said: 'Do we think it's going to work? I hope this is going to result in improvements in survival outcomes. 

If this doesn't work I'll probably hang my up hat and do something else.'
