Australian Doctors - Breast cancer victims 'could grow new breasts', page 1

Hey ATS!

I think this a great breakthrough if it manages to make it through the human trial okay!

Breast cancer victims 'could grow new breasts'

SCIENTISTS are poised to begin revolutionary surgery to help cancer victims regrow their breasts.

The world-first trial could also change the cosmetic surgery industry by allowing women to grow bigger natural breasts.

The experimental stem cell breast-growing technique - called Neopec - could replace breast reconstructions and implants within years, the Herald Sun reports.

It must be a harrowing ordeal to lose a breast to cancer. Psychologically and physically this method could help heal the wounds for these poor women.

I don't want to quote any more, but in a nutshell:

Scientists from the Bernard O'Brien Institute of Microsurgery in Melbourne will implant fat cells, which will multiple rapidly and be shaped into the breast she lost during cancer surgery.

Fascinating really.

Please read the full article for a more in depth explanation of the technique!

Good luck to em! This could change the lives of hundreds of thousands of women around the world!

Come on...there's no money in cures mate!

How are all those millions of poor pharma execs and research scientists and charities and so on going to feed themselves...

You're right. That was very immature and juvinile. Sorry, but I just couldn't resist.

I am very happy to see them making progress on this issue and hope it can help women to recover from breast cancer.

No mate, I hope you didn't take that the wrong way!?

I believe very passionately in seeing the funny side of life!

And :

Forget about finding cures for those silly little problems we call cancer and AIDs.

LETS GROW SOME BOOBIES!!

Was funny!

I reckon ATS sometimes looses its sense of humour!

So no worries about that post!

And yes, its a serious issue for those who've lost their breasts, but I bet even they will be making up jokes about this one!

All the best, Kiwifoot!
