I like this approach; it leverages the body’s own immune response as much as possible, rather than trying to be clever and engineer it.

They kept saying that there's no such thing as "cure for cancer" because there are different kinds of cancer, and each requires its own approach...

Yet, here we are.

I'm pretty sure I just heard the tiny remnants of my grade III glioma shout, "Shit! The party may be over guys."

This does sound promising.

Damn, man. Glad you're on the other side.

    "Shit! The party may be over guys."

It better be. The fucker's a dragon.

This sounds like a story you haven't shared before.

katakowsj  ·  2274 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yeah. What's up man?

It's a promising research development involving mice. It's not a cure for cancer. Unless you're a mouse

True. It does sound nicer than the promising research that I did not see yesterday. I’ll be happy for those little mice for now. Thanks.

I never said it was cure for cancer. I said the comments that tried to disprove its possibility due to cancer's various types are far less relevant now.
