Known as PLX4032, it is the first cancer drug to harness knowledge from the full decoding of human DNA, and has produced ‘spectacular’ trial results.

It dramatically cut tumour size in 24 of the 32 men and women taking part in a trial. In two other cases it made the tumour completely disappear.
Interesting. Now lets hope it doesn't turn us into zombies.

I'll be fine being a zombie as long as I can keep my free will. Although isn't that contradictory? I don't know anything about zombies lol.
