Television advertisements constantly warn of the dangers of overexposure to the fierce sun.Among them is the possibility of the disease melanoma(黑素瘤),a type of skin cancer.More than 1,200 Australians die every year from the disease.
Initial trials of a solution of Rose Bengal injected into some melanoma cells have had a 75 percent success rate in controlling the disease.Professor John Thompson,the director of the Melanoma Unit at the University of Sydney,says this organic dye could become a powerful cancerfighting treatment.
