THIS SOUNDS PROMISING:

Cancer results from cells gone wild. Proliferating out of control, the cells spawn malignant growths that can travel throughout the human body, spreading the disease. Some patients’ immune systems are able to recognize such tumors and begin to attack them, and research has shown that boosting the patients’ levels of such tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes can help defeat deadly cancer. Now scientists have transformed immune cells into cancer fighters outside the body–and prompted complete remission in two subjects when those cells were reintroduced.

Let’s hope that more extensive tests bear out these results.
