SciShow I love your channel❤️
SciShow this is very interesting
SciShow well...
SciShow holy crap he actually pronounced that right how many takes? 3:20
SciShow I remember a documentary on a drug that is designed to act the same way, but the medical trial went wrong and caused cytokine storms :/ hope that this one goes well.
But on the flip side, by now we can probably cure a rat of just about anything!
That's rat's plan all along.
As someone with pet rats, the amount of information we have on them is incredibly helpful! Unfortunately, they evolved to live fast. So after about 2 years, everything just starts to break down.
Keeping hope high (or, sometimes it seems, keep hope at all) while not letting expectations run away is a difficult thing to do. Thanks for reporting on this with the same non-sensationalist, rational attitude that you report on everything with. It helps a lot with that seemingly impossible task.
you sir are a rational one, not someone who sees maybe as definite or someone who saids a cancer cure is being suppressed, cancer treatment can't treat everyone, such treatments are also very dangerous so a safer alternative is being sought
Vaccines are available at: panamcancerclinic.com/peptide-vaccine
I REAAAALLY like these medical themed videos! I really hope that you guys will end up doing that SciShow Med channel sometime!
😄☺️😄
wisegirl_ 1227 decently enough information to do so.. More then space.
Indigomarine91 I LOVE SCISHOW SPACE DON'T HATE ON MY ADDICTION
But we can replace psych with med if u want
I'm up for scishow med!
You should check out Heathcare Triage its another channel produced by the same people
Actually sat next to a cancer patient who was reading this article on a plane this morning!
And that is a small round world!!!
Even if this treatment proves to be ineffective in humans, think of all the mice we can save!
This is big. Alas a few years too late to save my grandfather who succumbed to metastasized cancer.
mfaizsyahmi. Imagine the cure to death comes one day after a persons death 😂 that would suck
mfaizsyahmi. But it will save other people hopefully.
I'm still not convinced that mice aren't just using us to figure out how to make medicine for themselves.
MasterLagoz hitchhikers guide to the galaxy much?
New conspiracy theory? I'm on board with this one!
Not really; they only wanna figure what 42 means. If I was you, I'd be more concerned feeding them dolphins lots of fish
The mice probably didn't think we'd be such a successful simulation.
The brain is using this for his plans for world domination. Pinky is just enjoying the pretty colors.
Too many good people die of cancer, it's time we put an end to it. I lost uncle 2 years ago and aunt 4 months ago to cancer.
David Si I know how it feels, it's been literally hell when my father was dying to cancer, yet I would go through it again just to see him one more time
I'm sorry for your loss. Check out yourself, cause some types are hereditary, and most of them have a multifactorial etiology, in which genetics and exposition and habits had a big role. Hope you and family all ready got on the task.
This is huge news -- a few months too late for my dad, but if nobody else has to die like that then hopefully the research goes smoothly.
Crossark1 same here buddy :(
I lost a few of my family members because they died of cancer, I really want a 'cure' for it cause my family genes aren't that good. Videos like these are cool, scientific, inspiring but I feel like I'm getting an emotional joyride if I kept watching the same kind of vids that talk about the cure for cancer. I'm glad we're closer, but a lot of us are still waiting.
mine to its scary to think about. :(
It's also in my family's genes to eventually obtain cancer. I have also lost a few family members because of cancer. I am on your side dude
The same here
Me to man my father has had it twice and survived my brother once same thing but my grandmother died from it
Skylark Lam Amen.
Crossing my fingers for that 15 person trial.
Vaccines are available at: panamcancerclinic.com/peptide-vaccine
Getting a "I Am Legend" feel from this right now
my thoughts exactly.
COVID vaccines say 'Hello'.
My uncle studies and researches cancer vaccines at an university in Brazil, and he (along with his team) developed a vaccine for skin and liver cancer. He's one of the most intelligent people I've ever met.
He was diagnosed with brain tumor last year, and it compromised his sight to the point that he couldn't read anymore... A sad irony.
He's recovering from it though, and hopefully the tumor will shrink even more. True story.
vitorfray hope he gets better and beats and develops a cure for it. It will beca nice middle finger to cancer
Good luck to your uncle, friend.
r/thathappened
He could save others but not himself
Please update us on his condition and his team's work.
I've see this before, it was a great zombie movie.
Damn, just think if we could cure or effectively treat cancer sometime soon. This is something I thought I would never see in my lifetime, and doubted my daughter's lifetime would see such an achievement. Fingers crossed ever so firmly that this small clinical trial goes well.
Well said. I agree, and I thought the same thing.
Vaccines are available at: panamcancerclinic.com/peptide-vaccine
This is amazing!! I really hope the clinical trials go well because this will be an awesome step for humanity and our longevity.
I'm hopeful, but I've heard "Cancer breakthru!" to many times to get my hopes up to much.
Darth Smirnoff Cancer's so complex that we need tons of breakthroughs before we actually break through
but the good news is that RIGHT NOW mice cancer is curable
Vaccines are available at: panamcancerclinic.com/peptide-vaccine
What if there's no tumor? What if it's blood cáncer, like leukemia or múltiple myeloma?
Good question, good question indeed...
Just leaving a message here, so I will get a notification when someone answers that question.
Same, I need to know.
That’s a really good question
Answer is complicated. Short answer, needs something tumor-like.
Only 15-20 years of clinical trials before it can be sold on the market
Darknightx33x For $12'000 a pop.

Actually, the time between first trials and general availability is a lot shorter for stuff used to cure really dangerous diseases. Makes sense, since the potentially danger of a poorly designed drug is still better than dying. And if the drug kills you, it doesn't matter as much, because at least you died fighting.
hamstsorkxxor if the drug kills them, that is grounds for the FDA to shut down the company and be sued by family of the dead. A faulty drug is still a faulty drug.
Darknightx33x
Not if you sign up that your prepared to face the consequences. It's basically the same thing we already do with surgery and chemotherapy. Sometimes a surgery only has a 30% chance of success, but if the alternative is certain death, the surgery is often performed anyway.
Clinical trial, let's hope we get 15 survivors so that this treatment gets fast-tracked.

I asked for this video about this “treatment” in the last video! Thanks SciShow even if it wasn’t on purpose.
I LOVE THE SCISHOW CHANNEL
(I’ve been supporting you guys for like more than a year thank you so much for making videos)
About a year and a half ago you guys made a video about a possible cure for cancer, this was right about the same time my grandfather had cancer, he sadly passed away and this year I find that my other grandfather now has cancer. I just hope that this treatment works unlike the other.. thanks for all that you guys do 🤙🤟✌️
Sorry to hear bud, Cancer is a dragon that is a hard one to slay.. shes big. People who put up a fight against it are heros, unfortunately not all fights are won but at least they go down trying.
Hope treatment options and your Grandfathers strength will prevail.
TJ's Chess There is a preventative cancer treatment in cuba that strengthens tour immune system to fight off cancer cells, but you have to fly out to a second country before since the US bans their own citizens from receiving medical treatment from Cuba
"Hey! Danger! Attack!"
Benjamin McIntosh okay, Navi
@Benjamin McIntosh "Help. Police. Murder."
Couldn't help it, immediately thought of Willy Wonka and had to reply with it :D
You have made me soooo happy with this video..pleaseee pleaseee.. upload a video as soon as the results come from there 15 patient clinical trial.. I have been surrounded by people dieing with cancer.. my birth mom, my aunt, my grandfather, and now my fiance is suffering from cancer... Please oh pleaseee.. upload a video as soon the results come from that 15 patient clinical trial.. Thank you sooo much again.. for this video..
Fawad Talib The clinical trial could take months or even years to complete... So take time to research it on your own! Google Scholar can help you access medical research papers so I would keep an eye out for it. Also: if it is successful, it will probably be in the news because of how important it is! I hope you and your family stay healthy
Legendary Tacosaur I was thinking the same that it would take a bit of time for the trials.. I just realllllyyyyyy hope it works out... Soo many families will be happy.. soo many people will be thankful.. and thanks man.. hope you and your family stays healthy too.. ☺️👍
There is a vaccine for cancer that they have been working on since 2013 in Germany and it was successful on the first human patient they tested it on. I would HIGHLY advise you to do a serious and restless research. You might find the name of the research Center who developed it.
It might still be in testing stage BUT it's working for sure.
Good luck.
RASHTG I will find it out.. and see what can be done.. but if it was successful it would be a huge news worldwide , right?
Fawad Talib Yeah. It should. It was huge enough for them to broadcast it on TV back then.
Yes, try. It was a vaccine created from the HIV virus. I hope this extra info will help you in your search.
Good luck .
I just wanted to say that I really appreciate all the work you guys put into these videos! You do an amazing job at making really important (and cool!) science more accessible. Thanks! 😊
I know too many people who have died or have cancer. Let's hope this works!
*RIP CANCER*
Ummm isn't this how I am legend started🤔
Yeah, some lady turned the measles virus into a cure for cancer and it basically caused everyone to turn into bloodthirsty vampires. (Yes, they are vampires not zombies.)
@@arandomperson86 I thought it was rabies?
You’d think people with terminal cancer would be willing to try these experimental yet promising treatments
zach kelly Y’gotta think about all the suffering they’re going through, if it goes bad, that’s a lot of pain.
zach kelly I’d assume they are... And up until this point, we haven’t really had many promising breakthroughs surrounding a cancer cure, let’s hope all goes well
True but survival is a strong motivation. Personally I love life enough that if I were terminally ill then as long as there's hope that if the treatment works and I survive I'll come out with my mind intact then I'd be willing to risk a great deal of pain and suffering. I know not everyone thinks that way but plenty do.
The trouble is ethics boards sometimes behave paternalistically, blocking experiments because they deem them too risky even if sane, informed, consenting adults want to participate. This isn't ethical, it's just sanctimonious. They get to pat themselves on the back for 'saving' people from the risk of suffering they personally view as unacceptable, disrespecting the subjects' own preferences and opinions for what they are willing to risk.
There are people that would gladly try these sorts of treatments! It's a legal/financial problem, not about finding people willing to take it.
Oh, I get why people keep talking about zombies now, they heard the word "T-cells" and immediately thought of resident evil.
Also in the movie called I am Legend the cure for cancer was made but then people turned into zombies. It was an ok movie.
babecat2000 I see.
Resident evil t-virus here we come ! Haha
dannyoman this is how I am Legend started
This so so cool to see a video about this! I just was presenting my lab group this paper. I am currently working on my PhD and am working on exactly this concept.
Exciting! Thank you for reporting this
I'm getting "I am Legend" vibes here
Haosheng Xu or 'Resident Evil' when he started talking about t-cells
I can do push-ups with 100 cancer vaccines on my back
Omg someone created a buff Hank green
+tan liquan
yep he just hangs here now,
metaphorically punching stuff,
doing comment push-ups
He's been commenting on all new SciShow videos for about a month now...
you think that pic is shopped? lol
There's Old Angry Hank too, and a bunch more. I wonder if they're all the same person...
Keep us posted, I know me and many of us could see this as a gleam of hope
Nice totally didn’t see that last part as an ad good job 👍🏻
Fingers crossed it works as well in humans as mice. If it works, that's an easy Nobel Prize for the leaders of the study.
Wasn't this the plot for i am legend?
Marce Z please don't let a vampire zombie movie stop progress 😂but yes
Thanks for this SciShow I'd heard about this but I didn't understand it so thank you because now I do
This is so awesome! My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. Although a mastectomy has removed all cancer we know of, it’s so encouraging to hear new cancer research!
I've finally done it. I read about the studies BEFORE Scishow reported them
Let's go!
How I hope and pray that this will work!! What a joyous day it will be when we can cure cancer!!! 1 out of every 3 people will get cancer in their lives and everyone life has been touched by this horrid disease!!! Let’s hope that this works and we can cure this plague that has been on our backs for so long!!!

You forgetting about the price of this vaccine buddy - are most people are prepare to pay probably more than $1 million dollars?
We are not ready for a cure for cancer, not yet anyway. There is a reason why we haven't been able to cure cancer yet: Because Cancer isn't a disease, it's merely DNA degradation. So, it's not that we can't cure it because we haven't "found" a cure, we know very damn well how to cure it, we just don't have the tech. It's the same reason humans didn't develop the wheel earlier: We had already thought of the wheel, we just didn't have the required tools to make metal axles or properly round and strong wheels, as soon as we could, wheels were widespread. We've known how to make an electric car for over a century, but we just didn't have other required technologies to make them usable and efficient until recently. A real cure for cancer will come once we have nanotechnology and a far better understanding of DNA, alongside the required tools to rewrite it in a meaningful way (meaning not through trial and error). Basically, we need a DNA compiler, so we can write DNA assembly and then compile it to ACGT.
Until then, all we'll have will be treatments, not an actual cure.
That said, this does look very promising.
justsomeawsome dude :: I'm guessing you're American?
almafuertegmailcom You are absolutely right but if we can destroy cáncer Cells without having to almost kill the patient and sometimes unsuccesfully like we currently do now I will embrace a vaccine or genetically modified T Cells with all my might until we can correct this degradation of the DNA. It's like a freaking coding error. I hate cáncer more than anything.
Awesome!!! Keep me updated about this please
Great video. Quality as always
This is sounding like a prologue to resident evil
There are countless biologists studying cancer and learning how to defeat cancer. These people give me faith in humanity. Heart-broken and hard-headed people that refuse to believe cancer is undefeatable. These are people with incredible intelligence, and use every piece of their intelligence to better the human race, to kick this scourge. Cancer may have won the battle millions of times, but humans are in it for the long haul, and we will never give up until the war against cancer has been won.
This is AMAZING news!! Thank you!!
I love how this channel approaches these often “sensationalized” stories that the media pumps out like we are creating some magic anti-cancer potion. While in actuality, this show emphasizes that this is a small step, and it is surprising to have clinical trials in humans this early on. Again, small steps. For each piece of knowledge science uncovers, a hundred new questions must be prompted. Good job guys!
Finally a way to defend from top 10 channels !
I WILL DROWN OUT THE NEGATIVITY WITH MY LOVE!! SCISHOW IS AWESOME, NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE, AND HIGHLY INFORMATIVE!!
Wow. Amazing. Please make a followup video when more info becomes available.
Love you guys, you guys are awesome.
People are amazing
Thank you
Some promising news. Another plus is that it can be used to target multiple kinds.
This is really exciting news! Really hope the trial come with promising results
This video was actually pretty freakin dope!
Love it!
Woohoo now I can’t die. Time to ride a shark.
What a great time to be alive
Cambesa True dat
6:14 WOW, that is a lot of words but luckily Hank and his writers have plenty of WORDS, the BEST words you have ever even seen, believe me, okay?
Keep us updated
If you get me hyped up for nothing sci show i swear to god I will forgive you in a few minutes
I'm glad I kept reading your comment 😂 I see what you did there! xD
That's the issue with all previous 'cancer cures' they weren't even close to mass producible. This though... well let's just wait and see.
But hopefully if this works we'll have a dependable treatment for tumors! And since Cancer is not a virus or a bacteria, we don't have to worry about it mutating immunities! So the one vaccine should work forever... theoretically, anyways. We'll find out.
Sir Sleepy the thing is, that cancer sometimes if not all the times IS a mutation
Shockwave Shockwave
Not quite the same. Mutation and immunities in viruses and bacteria is a process, they keep the mutations and immunities developed from previous cells. And even then, they form immunities to antibacterial substances which attack them, and that's not what this vaccine is. Whereas mutation in the form of Cancer is an event. A Cancer cell can always be traced back to a healthy cell, and the cell is not coated with tricks and defenses because of this.
Traditional mutation in bacteria and viruses mutate defenses against specific antibacterial substances by mere chance. And new cells spawned from a parent cell inherit the immunities and the mutation becomes normal.
Cancer cells might be mutated, but they are still almost identical to standard body cells when compared to bacteria and viruses. White blood cell could kill a cancer cell if given the chance, and there's nothing the cancer cell can do. So if we can artificially trigger the bodies defenses to attack the cancer then it should work.
Did that make sense? A lot of words failed to come to mind while replying, but trust me. Mutations in microbes and the mutations that cause cancer are two slightly different things.
Sir Sleepy yeah, thank gooness we don't mutate too fast, but when we do, people start making vaccines for it and discussing about it on the internet
I got really happy when i saw this video, a friend of mine just died of cancer... i hope this research goes well
Please do follow up shows on this subject.
If this can be perfected think of how many peoples loves ones would still be around....
3:18, bless you
Thank you
The results from these experiments are amazing!
#NotificationSquad!! Love your vids!
Edit: Just finished watching the vid, great video!
I don't get why people dislike these videos. They're scientific, unbiased, and helpful for humanity's knowledge. I think they're part of the anti vaccination squad.
People just dislike vids because they can.
They are called kids or sad, pathetic adults.
Both are good, valid anwsers
The like/dislike ratio is less than 100:1. Nothing abnormal about that. Almost every youtube video has at least a few dislikes.
It's probably RUclips.
A bot might like a video and comment "typically spam" the AI might let the bot post but hide the known bots comment and discount the view and down vote the video to counter any like. Why doesn't the AI remove the like? Because he bot might see if the like counter goes down and know it's being masked. By RUclips downvoting it can counter the bot. Not worry about the bot knowing it's being "shadowed" and make a new account.
Keep us updated please
Good to see that we've made some big steps
It can be either 15 deaths or 15 miracle with that trial...
cheyone let’s pray for 15 Miracles!!!
cheyone or a little bit of both. People may have different side affects.
MaxPower To get ethical approval for studies like these, they will take the no hope patients, which obviously then makes it more difficult to compare it's efficacy against current treatments that are being used in healthier patients.
It'll be 15 deaths without the trial, so... I wonder why they don't try this immediately with people like John McCain. He is terminal in his current diagnosis. Why not? What is there to lose? I just bring him up because he is a prominent figure in that situation, but there are thousands in a similar situation. What harm is there in recruiting them for a study ASAP?
Judging by the type of cancer, they are using terminal patients.
13 cancers disliked this video.

Excellent video
Oh wow. Keep us updated!
I would have never though that a vaccine for cancer would be possible in my lifetime. Hearing this is just amazing how much science has progressed in the last 15 years. Makes me wish I should have tried harder when I was still in university.
Espyrian don't get your hopes up just yet
I wont but still, it's amazing how far we've come in terms of advancements.
Even if this doesn't work, it's still a step down the right path. Failure teaches just as well as success.
Let's just hope this isn't the beginning of I am Legend!
You have a space channel!!! I never knew!
Yay!!!! Hank’s back!!! :D
The only thing that comes up in my mind when I hear T Cells is Resident Evil
CpG oligodeoxynucleo"tide. Reference to tide pods?
Tide: "From cleaning clothes to cleaning cancer"
Kenzo I.Motee way too late
This is awesome! :)
I've been writing a personal blog for my World travels for the last 2 years and that ad seriously peaked my interest. Oh and as someone who lost a family member t cancer I sure hope the human trials are effective atleast to some degree
I am legend here we come!
When I saw OX40, my brain went to 0x40 (hexadecimal)
What's that in decimal? No cheating!
Three of my grandparents died of cancer, my last one has cancer (nothing too bad, he's not dying).
So I'm always interested in hearing about new solutions to end cancer.
It's said that every is in some way affected by cancer in their family. Well if someone out there isn't, my family took a few for the team, dw.
My mother passed away June of last year from cancer. It started with breast but her finally diagnosis was Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. She tried all the available treatments - radiation, chemo (iv and pill forms), and surgery. Also used a bit of holistic treatment too, some costs more than the pharmaceuticals. She only fought for three years but it took a heavy toll. She never smoked or drank.
"I am legend" will become a reality
That’s badass
I recently went to a seminar by Stanford researcher Joshua Elias, and they actually were discussing a concept very similar to this. Except, instead of developing a vaccine that stimulates infiltrated T-cells, they’re doing research on the MHC complex that presents neoantigens on the cell surface, seeing if they can predict a bias in what proteins cancer cells present, so we can make a preemptive virus for certain cancers.
Does leaving your geyser on save more electricity than switching it on when needed. Due to the energy requirements to raise the water temperature being smaller for a smaller Delta T? Provided it only switches on the heating element when the temperature drops below the ideal heated temperature?
I hope this is the start to the cure of the deadliest disease known to mankind.
Is there no difference between a lab induced tumor(the one they gave the mice) and the ones naturally occurring in humans?
I don't know much about this topic but it seems as though there is a possibility that all the tumors given to the mice would have similar characteristics as they were probably created from the same cells? Just a guess but couldn't tumors in humans have much greater genetic variation than the cells this remedy was exposed to in the lab?
Yeah likely there is different.
As he said it only works for certain prostate cancers and has to be genetically tailored so it could be a decade or two before they can get it to work in humans, let alone test it and get it through human trials and clinical trials before it becomes available publically.
Thanks, I didn't notice that.
Potential Poacher also they can just hit the rats with radiation. Bam insta cancer
I suppose that might work too :)
Very cool and fingers crossed. 😎
It sounds like a step in the right direction, even if it seems small. Hope it pans out in the end.
