Re: Vaccine for Ovarian and Breast Cancer....

[Guest guest]

I agree with Kassi on this. I'm far from an expert, but I remember

shortly after my grandfather died from glioblastoma they were

experimenting with a shot where they take the patient's own cancer

cells, modify, then reinject into the site such that the body

recognizes that spectific strain of cancer cell & then the immune

system begins to attack just the cancer. If I remember the story

correctly, back then the cancer cells altered, they tried again, and

eventually the patient did die.

In these types of " shots " it's not really a vaccine per se, but an

immune therapy using own's own cells, very different from taking a few

viral/bacterial components, culturing, then injecting into everyone in

civilization for decades without regard to contaminants.

Perhaps this new therapy might have some downsides, too, but in cases

where these women are more than likely gonna die, a good alternative

to life could exist!
