SYDNEY, Australia (CNN) --Researchers at an
Australian university believe they have developed a
breakthrough showing skin cancer can be stopped
by the common cold virus.

Skin cancer, or melanoma, is the fifth most
common form of cancer.

Australia has the highest rate of melanoma in the world, with one out of every two people likely to develop some form of the disease during their lifetime.

A team led by Professor Darren Shafren at the University of Newcastle, about 150 kilometers north of Sydney, have established that malignant melanoma cells can be destroyed by infecting them with coxsackievirus, the common cold virus.

Their work is to appear in the January 2004 edition of Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.

"We believe this is a significant breakthrough in the development of the treatment of melanoma," Dr Shafren said in a statement released by the university Wednesday.
