A new type of immune cell which kills most cancers has been discovered by accident by British scientists, in a finding which could herald a major breakthrough in treatment. Researchers at Cardiff University were analysing blood from a bank in Wales, looking for immune cells that could fight bacteria, when they found an entirely new type of T-cell.

If there ever is a true cure, it will never make production. The cancer treatment industry is way too big to let that happen.
Interesting theory but a cure would be worth hundreds of billions to whoever comes up with it. That is a lot of incentive. Cancer hits everyone everywhere I don’t see how you could contain an actual cure.
The headline is irresponsible fake news.
This is early stage research.
The media and the researchers shouldn’t be publicizing it until there are successful human trials.
Fascinating work because much of immunotheraputic cancer fighting varies in effect among race. If this can kill any cancer, it would be groundbreaking, but there’s no telling in early stages.
You are absolutely correct.
“Don’t be fooled by the big (stock) foto of a sainted black genius that MSN includes with the article. The lead researcher is a white devil named Andrew Sewell. Here’s his highly toxic visage.”
Thanks. We are in a constant state of gaslighting. You can’t accept anything at face value nowadays.
?????? if these guys have a cure for cancer it will mean b(t)illions and will be made available.
It cant be. This cat is out of the bag and it doesnt require a pharma company to do it.
From the article: "The team says human trials on terminally ill patients could begin as early as November if the new treatment passes further laboratory safety testing."

This would never happen unless there was a bigger than usual chance these guys are right. I try to read and understand news regarding cell biology and have seen this article in different forms in the past week.
Disagree. Now that it is known to exist, some company will want to develop it to make tens of billions. We all have cancer cells in our bodies, and inevitably a large percentage of us will need this treatment. Look at it as just another drug - these are being developed all the time, and this wont stop.
The headline is irresponsible fake news.

This is one way for medical researchers to get investors.
This is what passes for “news” nowadays. But as you pointed out, it isn’t “information” until there are clinical trials with some degree of success.
Yes, the “cancer industry” would rather make profits for a brief time instead of finding a cure, so they and their families can then die of cancer.
“Interesting theory but a cure would be worth hundreds of billions to whoever comes up with it. That is a lot of incentive.”
The other incentive is to “not die from cancer”.
Actually yes... they would. Huge money in extending and prolonging treatments as long as possible as it slowly kills you. Money to enjoy right now is always more important than life, even their own.
Pure BS
