Scientists at Queen's University, Belfast, have made a discovery which could lead to more effective treatments for throat and cervical cancers.
It involves targeting the non-cancerous cells surrounding a tumour, as well as treating the tumour itself.
Researchers found that non-cancerous tissue surrounding cancers of the throat and cervix, plays a role in regulating the spread of cancer cells.
Treatments could be developed to stop that tissue being invaded by cancer.
