Why is this NOT Headline News?
Hey folks,
Seriously. Why is this NOT Headline News. Why is this not, at least the POSSIBILITY of this leading to an actual CURE for Cancer, NOT the Headline, Byline, Front Page news?I first heard of this by a friend of mine. I started searching for this in the news, on the web, and anywhere I could think to look. I only found it HERE. According to Rocket News - Vaccine implant ‘kills tumours’
An implant placed under the skin can instruct the immune system to attack and kill cancer cells, at least in mice, say researchers.
It is the first "cancer vaccine" delivered in the form of a plastic implant that can destroy tumours, say the Harvard University team.
It works by attracting certain immune cells and showing them what the tumour in question looks like.
This really is fascinating.
Cancer Research UK said that vaccine research was showing "real promise".
Cancer cells are good at evading the immune system because the body does not recognise them as "foreign".
Plastic disc
The idea of a vaccine to create an immune attack against a tumour is not a new one and there are versions currently in clinical trials.
"This study provides some useful insights into how we can effectively train the immune system to recognise and destroy cancer cells"
Dr Joanna Owens, Cancer Research UK
But most other studies have looked at removing immune cells from the body, reprogramming them to recognise the individual’s cancer and then returning them.
In the latest study, researchers developed an 8mm plastic disc that releases chemicals that attract a specific type of immune cell called a dendritic cell.
Immune cells can access the disc, which is implanted just under the skin. Once inside, they are exposed to proteins found on the surface of the cancer cells to be targeted.
With this information, the dendritic cells move on to the lymph nodes where they tell another type of immune cell, known as T cells, to hunt down and kill the cancer cells.
In mice with skin cancer, the implant was shown to successfully eliminate the tumours, the journal Science Translational Medicine reported.
ELIMINATING THE TUMOURS! Killing the Cancer. Or, in other words folks, CURING the person that has Cancer.
Healthy tissue
The researchers believe such implants could one day be used alongside chemotherapy and surgery to treat cancer.
In theory, the fact the immune system only targets the specific cancer cells avoids causing damage to healthy tissue and it is hoped the technique might produce long-term resistance reducing the chance of relapse.
For use in humans, the structure of the implant itself would need little modification but researchers said the immune activation components would need to be altered.
Study leader Professor David Mooney, an expert in bioengineering, said the technique was a "major step forward" in cancer vaccine design.
"Inserted anywhere under the skin – much like the implantable contraceptives that can be placed in a woman’s arm – the implants activate an immune response that destroys tumour cells," he said.
Dr Joanna Owens, science information manager at Cancer Research UK, said research into therapeutic cancer vaccines was beginning to show "real promise".
"This study provides some useful insights into how we can effectively train the immune system to recognise and destroy cancer cells.
"The use of an implant to deliver the vaccine is particularly interesting and the results look encouraging but more research is needed to see if the technology can be scaled up and adapted for use in people."
Of course it can. Why is this not making Mainstream News? Why are there not FAILED Government Programs that are being shut down and the financing of these FAILED programs being diverted to THIS Program immediately. Why other than the fact, most, most likely, have never heard of this, is there not PRIVATE Investors lining up to fund this?
Think of the savings in Healthcare. No more long term care. No more, in the long run, no more or REDUCED need for Chemo. No more long term Medication need? A person, in the future, maybe able to go in after diagnosis, have this disc implanted, and their own bodies can heal themselves. Think of the Billions Saved in,,,Oh. Perhaps I just answered my own question.

If that's true Pete they'll never admit it.
There's way to much money in cancer treatments.
Hey Irish Godfather,
That's what I'm afraid of. I have heard this claim several times in the Natural Health community that there are Natural Cures for Cancer, and that they are being suppressed by Big Drug, and the4 Medical Profession itself.
Cancer is a multi Billion dollar industry. They do not want that to end by a cure being discovered.
This is the first time I have seen someone in the ACTUAL Medical Community come out and say, "Hey, we may have just discovered a Cure for Cancer." One of the Number one leading causes of Death in the country and around the world for DECADES.
In the REAL World, this would be front page news. Your local Nightly News would be leading with it. Any time you turn on the Radio, you would be hearing these Doctors talking about it. You would hear people lining up to volunteer to be the first Human trials Patients.
Yet, in the World of greed we live in, NOTHING. One report, from a outlet I never heard of before this. Nothing else ANYWHERE.
Such is a lot of the Liberal Policies we see today. Why do you think they are coming out and attacking ANYONE that denounces Global Warming? BILLIONS are at stake. Who care that it's a SCAM. Obamacare? Forget that is a SCAM. Welfare, Tax and Cap, you get the point. MONEY. Power, Control, and Money. As long as they are involved, they care. However, no Money, Power or Control, they don't.
