Hope for prostate cancer patients as pioneering drug proves so successful they have already stopped the trials.
Medics at London's Royal Marsden Hospital were testing a powerful alpha radiation drug on 461 people while another group of the same number were being treated with a dummy drug.
Patients taking the new drug experienced less pain, side effects and lived longer.
Researchers were so astounded with the results they decided to stop the trial and started treating all 922 patients taking part in the study because they said it would be unethical not to.
