Amino acids are protein's building blocks and give your cells their structure. They also feed cancer. Researchers at the Cancer Research UK Beatson Institute and the University of Glasgow are trying to formulate a diet that will starve cancer but still give you the amino acids you need for your cells to create proteins.

Read MoreAspirin may be able to boost the effectiveness of cancer medicines that improves the immune system. Immunotherapy lets the body's own defenses fight cancer. Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have published a study suggesting aspirin may prevent tumors from hiding from the immune system. Cancer Research UK said it could be a simple way of improving treatment. The team showed that skin, breast and bowel cancer cells were producing high levels of a chemical, called prostaglandin E2, that could dampen down the immune response - effectively letting a tumor hide.
Read MoreResearch suggests there is a biological way to can restore cancer cells to normality and stop them replicating out of control. U.S. researchers have tried to add molecules called microRNAs to cancerous cells and they have found that these can put the brakes on cancer, according to a report published in Nature Cell Biology. The early laboratory tests in a dish look promising. However, it is still a long way until the first applications of these findings will be put to test in clinical trials.
Read MoreA hospital scan normally used to detect cancer could be used to steer tumor killing treatments to hard-to-reach targets in the body. The UK team at Sheffield University deployed the magnetic power of MRI scans to control the movement of a specially designed injectable cancer therapy. Early trials in mice suggest the novel delivery method works. Years more of studies are needed before it could be used in patients.
