  • BBC: Cancer treatment for MS patients gives 'remarkable' results

    UK doctors in Sheffield say patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are showing "remarkable" improvements after receiving a treatment usually used for cancer.

    About 20 patients have received bone marrow transplants using their own stem cells. Some patients who were paralysed have been able to walk again.

    Prof Basil Sharrack, of Sheffield's Royal Hallamshire Hospital, said: "To have a treatment which can potentially reverse disability is really a major achievement."
