Re: breast cancer cells can turn off key immune response--2 ways to remedy that--tria
Lani, you are just full of good news lately.
I have always suspected cancer uses the immune system to survive and thrive. I can barely imagine the dramatic difference in upcoming clinical trials. It feels to me that science is on the brink of bringing exciting discoveries into the reality of cancer treatment and prevention.
So exciting to see a time when a breast cancer diagnosis will not include the fear and reality of bone, brain, and liver mets . . . etc.
There was a time when it seemed nothing was that significant in progressing treatment for breast cancer. Now I feel I'm not keeping up with all the new discoveries - and that is a good thing.
