Cancer immunotherapy - significant breakthrough or unrealised potential?

Professor Awen Gallimore
Many scientists and clinicians have pondered and theorised over the role the immune system plays in cancer for over a hundred and fifty years.
Whilst many intriguing observations and experimental findings were recorded during this time, it is in the last twenty or so years that our scientific understanding of the relationship between the immune system and cancer has undergone advances that are significant enough to bring about real improvements to treatments of some patients with previously terminal disease.
These treatments, termed immunotherapies, will be discussed in terms of those that are current as well as those which might be coming next.

Thank you for taking the time to post this, I’ve sadly lost family members and friends to cancer and it's good to hear that new treatments will prevent others from losing loved ones.

Things that are recommended for preserving and strengthening the car-t?

[@thelmabomar2917]

Those car T cells are the cure, gobbles up those cancer cells. I’m using Pembrolizumab for my stage 4 colorectal cancer, third treatment and I’m doing great so far.

In Australia they remove some of the Car T cells, grow them in millions, then put them back in your blood, excellent cure.
