FASTER, PLEASE: Excitement at new cancer treatment. “A therapy that retrains the body’s immune system to fight cancer has provoked excitement after more than 90% of terminally ill patients reportedly went into remission. White blood cells were taken from patients with leukaemia, modified in the lab and then put back. But the data has not been published or reviewed and two patients are said to have died from an extreme immune response.” Lots of impressive-sounding cures don’t pan out after reports like this one, but I hope that this one does.
