Immune terapi

Fantastisk nyhed hørt på BBC. Desværre går der jo nok mindst 10 år før, man får diverse godkendelser på plads, men alligevel en fantastisk nyhed.

Research is at an early stage but scientists said it had huge potential for destroying cancers.

"Why is this significant?

T-cell cancer therapies already exist and the development of cancer immunotherapy has been one of the most exciting advances in the field.

The most famous example is CAR-T - a living drug made by genetically engineering a patient's T-cells to seek out and destroy cancer.

CAR-T can have dramatic results that transform some patients from being terminally ill to being in complete remission.

However, the approach is highly specific and works in only a limited number of cancers where there is a clear target to train the T-cells to spot.

And it has struggled to have any success in "solid cancers" - those that form tumours rather than blood cancers such as leukaemia.

The researchers say their T-cell receptor could lead to a "universal" cancer treatment."

To eksisterende terapier, der begge koster i omegnen af en halv million dollar, er:
