"It's been used throughout the world in millions of dosages," he explained. "It's safe, and we applied it to cancer."

He added it was to the researchers "wonder and surprise and pleasure" that the drug had a result.

"The research study that is being done is definitely great," he said.

"It is simply unbelievable that there are individuals out there going to invest their lives just looking for a treatment, so that individuals can proceed with their daily lives and not need to go through all this things.

"You can't thank these people enough for what they're doing."

The five-year research study has actually been moneyed by Cancer Research UK and the Medical Research Council.

A medical trial is anticipated within the next 18 months and if successful, it is hoped new treatments based on this research might be used within 10 years.
