The first person in the world to receive a pioneering genetic therapy has had her cancer reversed, say Great Ormond Street doctors.

One-year-old Layla Richards, from London, had incurable aggressive leukaemia only five months ago.

Doctors used "designer immune cells" to fight the cancer and say her improvement was "almost a miracle".

It is too soon to know if she has been cured, but her progress already marks a huge moment for the field.

Just hope it turns to be a viable treatment for as many forms of cancer as possible.

F***ing horrible thing!

I always get my hopes up a little when one of these stories comes out. One never knows, as there have been so many that didn't pan out, but I keep hoping that one of them is "The One"! I want to remember that moment in history for the rest of my life if & when it happens. :)
