Read today that in clinical trials, Dr. Stanley Riddell was able to send 93% (27 of 29) of patients into remission by removing T-cells from the patient and essentially training them (Bio-Engineered) to attack the cancer. These T-cells are injected back into the patient where they multiply and attack the cancer like they are supposed to.

Some of the patients in the trial, which began in 2013, were originally not expected to survive for more than a few months because their disease had previously relapsed or was resistant to other treatments, said Dr. Stanley Riddell, an immunotherapy researcher and oncologist Fred Hutch. Today, there is no sign of disease.

This is not a cure-all for all types of cancer, but I could see it, along with genetic testing, being used to create a type of cancer vaccine.

Don't be so optimistic about it......great powers will do whatever it takes to not lose market share or profits.
 
10-15 years from now the whole landscape will change for this type of treatment. Medicine is moving quickly, it's too bad I may die before all the really good stuff happens.
 
There should be a questionnaire for patients though: "Are you against GMO's?" If they answer "yes." "I'm sorry, but you're against the science that could have saved your life. Better luck next time."
