Pennsylvania, United States (IINA) - An experimental type of cancer treatment in which immune cells are trained to seek and destroy cancer cells has worked for years in some patients, providing a complete recovery in four cases, NBCnews reported.
Researchers reported that the trained cells are not only thriving, but appear to be multiplying, which provide an ongoing protection against cancer.
Out of 14 patients who have tried the therapy, eight were helped, Four of them had completely recovered, although one later died from an infection when he had a skin cancer removed from his leg, the researchers reported.
Now the researchers are trying the method against a range of other cancers, including other types of leukemia, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, mesothelioma and the brain cancer glioblastoma. Other teams of researchers are also trying the method out.
