New cancer treatment is ingenious and simple
The idea behind a new treatment of cancer is so simple one might ask why it hasn’t been thought of before. Doctors find out which immune cells in the patient kill the cancer cells and populate them in vitro. In the patient those are usually too few (at some stages of cancer only a few hundred) to be able to cure itself.
After reinjecting billions of those cells the patient magically cures himself. The smart idea behind it is, that only the body’s own systems can reach each and every cell. Cancer can spread throughout the body and build so called metastases which are almost impossible to remove by surgery. By injecting the body’s own cells the treatment is much more gentle than chemo therapy.
There are already several patients who have been cured by this method and have lived cancer-free for the last two years. Of course because the progeny of the cells is very laborious the treatment is also expensive.
