More than 15,000 people in Australia are diagnosed with melanoma every year. However, a Melbourne-based research team has discovered a T cell that can migrate into tumours and eradicate melanoma. The CD4+ T cells have been injected into mice that have melanoma, and the study’s lead author Dr Emma Bawden says a very small dose of the cells has been able to cure the mice. The researchers are based at Melbourne University and the Peter Doherty Institute.

It is headed by Michael Hofman, a pioneer in the use of theranostics to treat prostate cancer. Research undertake at 11 cancer centres across Australia has shown that theranostics has higher response rates and fewer side effects than chemotherapy. The new cancer centre has received $7.4m in funding from a foundation established by US philanthropist, convicted insider trader and prostate cancer survivor Mike Milken.
