Re: A trial on 3 people : 2 cured one 70% decrease..

In each of the patients as much as five pounds of cancerous tissue completely melted away in a few weeks, and a year later it is still gone.

In similar past experimental treatments for several types of cancer the re-injected white cells killed a few cancer cells and then died out. But the Penn researchers inserted a gene that made the white blood cells multiply by a thousand fold inside the body. The result, as researcher June put it, is that the white blood cells became “serial killers” relentlessly tracking down and killing the cancer cells in the blood, bone marrow and lymph tissue.

As the white cells killed the cancer cells, the patients experienced the fevers and aches and pains that one would expect when the body is fighting off an infection, but beyond that the side effects have been minimal.
Hell yeah..
I know it's a blood cancer..but if the trans-cancer type issue with immune therapy has been wbc dying out before the job is done, perhaps they have turned the key. Dunno...I thought the issue in solid tumors is cancer cells being "invisible" to the immune system. Let's hope that aint the case.
