"In the new study, the team took white blood cells from the immune mice ? a combination of natural killer cells, macrophages and neutrophils ? and injected them into mice already carrying a variety of tumors, some of which were extremely aggressive. In every case, the cancers were destroyed, even if the cells were injected at a point distant from the tumor. Healthy tissues were not affected.
The mice that received the cells, furthermore, were protected from new tumors for the rest of their lives. The researchers have no idea how the immunity continues."
My thoughts: It's still too early to tell if this will work on humans but ... as a person who's lost several loved ones to cancer, this is very exciting news.
