Is immunotherapy the cure for cancer?

There are two big research studies that may indicate that cancer can be cured via immunotherapy.





First is the mice cancer SR/CR immunity research at Wake Forest. They have bred mice that are resistant to all cancers, and they transfer their immunity to mice with cancer, by tranferring their white blood cells. The mice were cured completely and lived normal lives.


The second study just came out in JEM, March 26, showing that their is an immune response in MGUS, a precancerous condition. They found that immunity to SOX6 prevents the cancer at the cancer stem cell level.. Lack of immunity meant the cancer occurred.


Now Wake Forest researchers are trying to duplicate their mice immunity study by opening a trial in humans. The researchers want to take wbc's from humans with high levels of cancer immunity and tranfer the wbc's to cancer patients to see if the wbc's will kill the cancer.

Is immunotherapy the cure for cancer?
I was given 0% with less than a month to live and did experimental immunitherapy. I have been in remission for years now. The therapy was done at the National Cancer Institute part of the National Institutes of Health.


They took T cells from my blood, created a vaccine and used it along with interleuken 2. There's a protein that cancer cells carry that no other cells in our body carry. It was designed to attack that protein and kill it. It did the job!!! So, I believe immunitherapy may be the start!
Reply:Some day it may provide the cure. This is still in the research and testing stages.
Reply:I suppose that it would work. I can't tell you 100% sure, but I could tell you that it sounds like it will be a future treatment and a very good one at that. But as of now, I know that the basic and most common cure for cancer is quemotherapy.
Reply:It is not a cure but helps to keep the cancer from spreading.
