Cancer vaccine that cured 97% of mice with no painful side effects may be available in just one year

Vaccine, which contains two safe drugs, may cause just fever and site soreness
If approved, researchers expect it will be one-to-two years before it is available
Rather than creating lasting immunity, the vaccine activates the immune system
This then attack tumours in certain forms of the disease, such as lymphoma
Approximately 1.7 million new people develop cancer every year in the US

A cancer vaccine that cured 97 percent of blood tumours in mice will be tested on humans with low-grade lymphoma later this year.

Patients receiving the vaccine, which contains two drugs proven for their safety, will not require any chemotherapy, with the jab's side effects expected to be just fever and injection-site soreness.

If approved, researchers do not expect the treatment to be available for another year or two.

Rather than creating lasting immunity, the jab works by activating the immune system to attack tumours.

This is expected to be effective in low-grade lymphoma, which affects certain white blood cells and generally responds to treatment, due to it often being detected by the immune system, unlike other forms of the disease, such as bowel cancer.

Around 1.7 million new people develop cancer every year in the US.

Lead author Dr Ronald Levy, from Stanford University, said: 'We have a huge problem in cancer and we will never be satisfied until we find solutions for everyone.'

Don’t you worry about cancer in mice? Even if it worked in humans it will either (1) be illegal in the United States or (2) be prohibitively expensive or (3) moderately expensive until bought up by a large pharmaceutical firm who will jack the price up 10 times AND (4) will be cheaper elsewhere in the world by a factor of four at least.

QUESTION:

Where do they find all these mice that have cancer??

Give them Pall Malls and light em up?

Pro-create a strain of mice genitally deposed to cancer?

Raise them downwind to Three Mile Island?

The reason I ask is not all cancers are “created equally” Hence why do scientists believe the cancer induced lab mice the medicine they successfully treated will be effective with”wild”(not lab controlled)cancer that actually are the result of real conditions people are afflicted with.

Smart question or really, really dumb?

They don’t. That is why these human trials are needed.

This news is good news -— if you are a mouse. That’s all.

Well, if you want to be identified as a “trans-species mouse” or any other “trans”, you have several precedents:

You have “Mickey and Minnie”
“Ed or Edwina”
“Selma and Louise”
“In or Out”
“Dame Edna”
“RuPaul or Paul””
Rosie O’Donnell
Michael or Michelle Moore
Barack or Michelle Obama
“Bathhouse or White House”
“Nancy (Pelosi) or Linguini”
“Trans-Siberian Railroad” (aka the Potma Special - Soviet slave labor camps all the way to Lake Baikal
“Trans-Siberian Orchesta”

And the list goes on!

Yep. 3 reasons I voted for Trump:

1. Clean out the swamp - specifically lock up Hillary first. First and foremost above EVERYTHING else in this country, that bitch being brought to justice should be THE #1 priority as SHE is ground zero for all this constant BS Trump and this country is getting day after day, SHE is THE source and until that is taken care of it's going to be rough going to get things done. There is NO deep state, there is only Hillary and those who do what she tells them.

2. End the criminal foreign invasion and build the wall.

3. End the nightmare of healthcare in this country. It's utterly insane what is going on. I'm self employed and I no longer have healthcare because I can't afford it. And if that wasn't bad enough, when I did my tax returns it said I must pay a $700 fine for not being able to afford it. I went from getting money back to owing money.

I used to work for a company that provided specialty lab mice. A lab mouse can cost upwards of $100,000.

Before gene editing they used to actually expose the mice to certain things, or train them for things. Now with DNA mapping complete and gene editing for animals common place, the cures are coming fast and furious. For $50 you can get a mouse that used to cost $25,000.
