JUST IN: Scientists built bacteria that EATS cancer from the inside out.
The future of cancer treatment isn't a drug. It's a living organism that devours tumors from the inside.
Here's how it works:
Solid tumors have a dead center. No oxygen. No blood flow. Just dead cells and nutrients sitting there.
Most cancer drugs can't survive in that environment. They get blocked. They break down. They never reach the core where the tumor is most protected.

Researchers are engineering bacteria to invade tumors and consume them from the inside. Because tumor cores lack oxygen, they’re the perfect breeding ground for these microbes. The team added a genetic tweak that helps the bacteria survive longer near oxygen-exposed edges — but only once enough of them are present to trigger the change. It’s a carefully programmed biological attack that could one day offer a new way to destroy cancer.

A research team led by the University of Waterloo is developing a novel tool to treat cancer by engineering hungry bacteria to literally eat tumours from the inside out. “Bacteria spores enter the tumour, finding an environment where there are lots of nutrients and no oxygen, which this organism prefers, and so it starts eating those nutrients and growing in size,” said Dr.
