Cancer is a terrible disease that leaves most of the people it infects with little chance of life. Even worse, the few treatments there are such as radiation or chemo therapy leave the patient in a very weak and sick state of being. But not anymore. Chemists have created a new platinum based, anti-cancer drug that is able to better absorb into cancer cells and neutralize them in ways that was impossible for previous cancer treatments. Also, the platinum drug doesn't have as many of the side effects of radiation or chemo therapy.

This is a great leap forward for medical chemist everywhere. Cancer has for a long time been a very tough nut to crack. These new drugs will greatly help in the fight to prevent cancer. All the specifics and details are explained much better in the actual article. I found it to be very helpfull and informative as far as the description went. The article was well written, (from a journalism student's standpoint) and provided all the information needed to thoroughly describe the new platinum drug. website here.
