There is a good news for cancer patients - you might be cured later on.
Whenever I heard about cancer, it was related to death. Luckily, it's not this time. David Porter, a leukaemia patient said that ‘‘I got the news that my bone marrow was completely free of detectable disease’’. Simply, it is an experiment trying to kill cancer with genetically engineered immune cells called T cells. Read the full news here: http://www.nature.com/news/2011/110810/full/news.2011.472.html
Actually early attempts have been made to test T cells effect on cancer, but results were disappointing. Fortunately, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) plans to sponsor the experiment against another three types of cancer. I know some might think that all these trials are small; however, it is a good start in the medical profession area. Science is to go through numerous failures and attempts to be successful. Although I am not interested in science, it is undeniable that it has great significance for humans, and this is where I most admire science.
From the previous to the present, I am always very sympathetic to people who suffer from cancer because they can only wait for death to come or pray to God now, and finally there is an encouraging progress!
Hope one day we can say: cancer? It is curable!
