RE: the lead author of the melanoma study, called the results a game changer.

OK, some questions:

1) How long before it is approved by the foot dragging government?

2) How much will it cost?

I re-read the post and realized one thing — This was done in the UK !! Not the USA.

the nivolumab and ipilimumab combination used in this study came with greater side effects...

Well, yes. Turning the immune system "back on" against cancer cells risks a wide range of autoimmune diseases. You'd have to craft the dosages very carefully and stay on top of their effects every minute. This won't be easy, but it's certainly promising.

My wife passed from melanoma two years ago this week. She was taking an immunology drug, Yervoy. Yervoy has been used for about five years now. It’s not new. Patient response when she was being treated was all over the map. A few went into a remission that could be described as cure. Life extension with decent health was the response for some 30 to 40 %. My wife fell into the cohort that showed no response at all, a response of 30 to 40 %. I do believe that a cure will result from immunology, but this report is only a beginning.

Wasn`t there a recent discovery of a protein that hyper-activates T-Cells to attack virus and cancer cells? I remember reading this on Drudge Report.

I can’t count the number of promising reports of anti-cancer treatments in laboratories that ultimately fizzle out.

We were just talking about this subject yesterday, the 31st.
