This is such AMAZING news!
Researchers at the University of Penn have made a MAJOR breakthrough in leukemia treatment and developed a treatment that sources say, “virtually eradicated cancerous leukemia cells in the first three patients it’s been tested on.”
Patients own T cells are genetically modified with a vaccine then reintroduced into their body after chemotherapy. These “serial killer” cells killed thousands of tumor cells and “at least two pounds of tumor in each patient.”
Two of the patients leukemia went into complete remission!
The treatment is working better than the doctors wildest imaginations, as senior author Carl June said:
“Within three weeks, the tumors had been blown away, in a way that was much more violent than we ever expected.”
The radical treatment helped three patients who were out of options and will hopefully continue to help those running out of options for effective leukemia treatment.
