My third share tip for 2014 is Advanced Oncotherapy at 3.25p

Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) develops and makes better and cheaper ways of destroying cancer cells with new technologies, including proton beam therapy (PBT).
Where conventional cancer radiotherapy treatment can be likened to using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, PBT accurately targets cancerous cells to within a hair's breadth. There is little, if any, damage to surrounding tissue.
All this is done with the aid of pioneering technology which has worldwide approval from specialists, though not necessarily supported by the NHS – yet.
The technology follows the acquisition in 2013 of a company called Adam from CERN, the large Hadron Collider scientists in Switzerland. That's right - technology used to harness the 'God particle' is now being adapted by Advanced to fight cancer.
What is interesting is that top cancer specialists have supported the venture and hold shares. During 2013, a number of medical heavyweights have joined the board, which now reads like a who's who of global cancer specialists.
So there's a lot of support from people who know what they are talking about.
The company has not made much money yet – the hopes are in the future. But shareshifters have already reaped benefit. The share price is around 3.25 pence, which is a big boost to the one penny tag a year ago. My personal target is 6p in 2014.
Yes, it's impossible to guarantee success with medical pioneers, as development costs are high and rival outfits sometimes make better discoveries down the line.
But cancer is an increasing problem as we all live longer and buying shares in this venture should benefit from an ageing population .
