Researchers at Northwestern University of America, led by chemistry professor Nathan Jianchi, have developed a drug called "Trojan horse" that cheats, introduces and kills cancer cells.

The researchers tested this approach using the chemical drug Paklitaxel, which completely eliminated bone, pancreatic and colon cancer in mice. The new approach, according to Science Daily, combines a type of chemotherapy with the lipids used by tumors to promote growth.

The fat is consumed by the malignant cells with anticancer drugs. Once the tumor enters, the drug becomes active and destroys the cancer cells from within. The drug appears to be a small fatty acid, so the tumor receptor sees it and prompts it to enter, then starts the metabolism and kills the malignant cells.
