Clone cell cancer “cure” hailed
Our immune system plays an essential role in our fight against cancer.
In most instances, our body mount an attack against cancer cells by producing immune cells that can fight these mutated cancer cells. However, the amount of these immune cells are too small to be effective. What happens if we could increase these cancer fighting cells?
In a recent experiment, scientists remove these immune cells from a patient suffering from advanced melanoma, a type of skin cancer, and cloned them in the billions before infusing them back into the patient.
The result?
The cancer disappeared after two months and the patient is still cancer free after two years.
However, the scientists involved are quick to caution that this method is only practical for certain types of cancer, and may not work for all.
