52 year old Oregan man being treated for skin cancer who was given less than a year to live has gone into remission.

The 52-year-old patient's dramatic turnaround was the only success in a small study, leading doctors to be cautious in their enthusiasm.

This news does give some hope in the fight against skin cancer.
