Virus helps show cancer spread
Prostate cancer cell
A cold virus was used to "infect" prostate cancer cells
Scientists have used a common cold virus to "light up" prostate cancer tumours in different parts of the body.
It could make it easier for doctors to track the spread of the disease, and check the effectiveness of treatment.
A University of California at Los Angeles team found the virus "infected" prostate cancer cells in mice, then made them visible to scanners.
UK experts welcomed the Nature Medicine study, and said a more sensitive scan would be "very valuable".
