Cancer breakthrough: Potential cure could be ready as early as next year

From Express.co.uk (Nov. 24):

A POTENTIAL cure for cancer could be ready to test on patients as early as next year.

British scientists are developing an immune therapy based on blood cells from patients who have made “miracle” recoveries from the disease.

They believe they have found a way to extract the cancer-killing immune cells from donor blood and then multiply them by the million.

The team at King’s College London say they are excited by early results of lab tests.

It could signal not only better treatment for cancer but also one day a possible cure.

Cancer research bodies in the UK described the breakthrough last night as “very promising”.

The therapy involves neutrophil cells, which form part of the body’s first line of defense against foreign invaders.

Such cells are believed to be a key reason why some lucky individuals spontaneously and inexplicably shrug off lethal cancers, giving rise to “miracle recovery” headlines. [read more]

That is good news.
