Breakthrough offers hope for Tasmanian devil cancer cure
The infectious facial cancer has wiped out 80% of wild devils since it was first identified in 1996.
By injecting live cancer cells, researchers have used immunotherapy for the first time to successfully treat the disease.
The breakthrough is hoped to fast-track development of an effective vaccine, said the international research team.
The treatment successfully eradicated tumours as big as golf balls, said co-author Prof Greg Woods of the University of Tasmania.
