COMMENTS: Cell Army
The unprecedented cure of a single cancer patient that was written up in the New England Journal of Medicine inspired ABC's John McKenzie to share. The experiment involved isolating an immune system cell that is "actually programmed by the body to attack cancer." It was removed from the melanoma patient and cultivated in a laboratory, growing "a vast new army of them, 5bn cells," which were then injected into the patient. Within two months the tumor had disappeared. McKenzie called it "a promising start."
