By targeting a patient's own tumor from within, the new approach offers the possibility of successfully treating people who are out of options.
Joe Biden announced his"moonshot" effort to find a cure for cancer during his speech at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.Personalized care has been a buzzword in medicine for years, but new research on cancer treatment is taking it to a new level. the new approach combines several cutting-edge technologies to provide perhaps "the most complicated" treatment ever given.
But the promise, the ability to give people an effective treatment individualized across many different variables, could open a new era in cancer therapy. "It's very important to try to anticipate what the escape routes are for the tumor, so you try to block them," said Wucherpfennig, who was not involved in the new study.
In blood cancers, most tumor cells have the same flag. Attack those with a CD19 flag, for instance, and most people with acute lymphoblastic leukemia will be successfully treated if not cured. Some healthy cells also carry CD19 flags, but people can live without them.
