RE: 100% success rate on a cancer trial7 Jun 2022 11:41
This is it ….
A new cancer therapy that targets a "shield" that protects tumors from the immune system has surprised scientists by causing all trial participants to go into complete remission, representing what is claimed to be the first time such success has been found. The therapy prevented participants with advanced rectal cancer from needing chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery to remove large parts of their colon, changing – and possibly saving – their lives.
“I believe this is the first time this has happened in the history of cancer,” said Dr Diaz, author of the paper and Head of the Division of Solid Tumor Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, reports the New York Times.
The results were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
