Disgusting concept in every direction!

Chinese scientists have developed a pioneering cancer treatment that modifies tumors to resemble “pork,” effectively triggering the body’s immune system to attack them, according to a report by the South China Morning Post on Monday.
The researchers have engineered tumors to mimic pig tissue, prompting the immune system to recognize them as foreign and launch a targeted attack using the same response that leads to organ transplant rejection.
The study, published in Cell on Jan. 18, employs a genetically modified virus to disguise cancer cells as pig tissue, inducing a hyperacute immune rejection that specifically targets tumors while sparing healthy cells.
Early clinical trials have shown remarkable results, with 90% of patients suffering from advanced, treatment-resistant cancers experiencing either halted tumor growth or shrinkage.
One cervical cancer patient was even declared clinically cured.
This breakthrough offers new hope for patients whose cancers have not responded to conventional therapies, opening a promising new direction in oncology.
The research, led by Professor Zhao Yongxiang, director of the State Key Laboratory of Targeting Oncology at Guangxi Medical University, has gained widespread attention on Chinese social media.
I’m in year 13 or so and have always been involved in one study or another, which saved me tons of $$$.
Because of the PACT Act, the VA has classified my cancer as service-connected.
I couldn’t afford a single treatment otherwise.
Yeah, but an hour after it’s cured your cancer, your immune system is hungry again…
Gives a whole new meaning to “long pig”...
Mayhap, “lung pig” for a smoker?
Mushu Tumor
Make it bacon and we’ve got a deal!
You are a baaad man!🧐 LOL! I thought the same thing. My daughter was warped by my twisted sense of humor.
Anoher pork project for the liberals.

Sounds like the opening of "I Am Legend".
Cancer, the other white meat.

Gain of function research?
Chinese Pork Ping !
During my treatment in 2007, just one of the drugs was 10K per dose. I’m not posting from the afterlife so it was worth it. 80Kfor 8 treatments. I also remember a blood cell booster being expensive also but it was to help me handle the chemo better. Made my bones hurt as they ramped up production.
Btw - my poor grandmother gave me 1K to help with the bills. I didn’t need the help since it was pre obozocare and my max deductible was like 1500.
I was thinking the OTHER, other white meat.
The sooner we bury the hatchet with China the better, co-operation with their best scientists could change the world. I’m no pacifist, but it’s easy to see the potential from turning weapons expenditure into benefits for our combined populations resulting in a better life for everyone.
More Pork!
Pray for the elimination of the CCP. Their citizens are victims of a cruel ideology.
Pork? I was hoping they would turn those cancer cells into erogenous zones.
I just hope this isn’t another swinedle.
The Chinese will fake anything.
I’m rooting for susccess because that’s just it— if anyone could make tumors look like pork, it’d be the Chinese.
Disgusting concept in every direction!
That right there is why Trump invented ten thousand per cent tariffs.
