'Remarkable' therapy beats terminal breast cancer

Treatment involves pumping millions of cells into a patient's body, after they have been grown in a lab, from the patient's own cells in order to fight the disease.

For all the shit that goes on in the world, I really think we're going to be alive to see a cure for cancer.

Sure I read something similar last week where it Involved Brain Cancer, but can't find that article now.
For sure Huge leaps are being made re Immunitherapy, Genetherapy etc
While searching that article I came across an American case where a woman has been Brain Cancer free for 10 yrs after a trial that included using an innocuous virus that a tumour will absorb making the immune system attack the virus affected tumour .
In that particular trial they gave diptheria and tetenus vaccine,along with the targetting virus, and a shot of tetenus the day before infusion to the site of infusion.
It sounds like things are moving on at a pace.

I doubt it, cancer isn't one disease with a single cure, it has thousands of different variations. Breast cancer isn't the same as prostate cancer, and there are many different types of breast cancer. It's a small step of progress.

I don't mean all cancer completely, but the day they can say they've stopped it in some form will be a historic one.
