Here's the unexpected result:

But remarkably, the treatment alone seemed to wholly eradicate their cancer. As of the study’s publication, 18 patients have completed treatment, while 12 have been tracked for at least a year, and none of them have shown signs of their cancer returning so far.

According to the New York Times, the first patient given the drug has remained cancer-free two years later.

That said, the findings are still very early, and it will take much more research with larger-sized studies to confirm the drug’s effectiveness, especially over the long term. Dostarlimab and similar immunotherapy treatments also aren’t side-effect free, and they can rarely cause serious complications like muscle weakness, though no such adverse events were reported in this trial. And the drug doesn’t come cheap, costing $11,000 per dose out of pocket.

And this is the last we will ever hear of it.

I'm willing to end the thousand dollar stipends and free public school and emergency room care for illegal aliens and billions in aid to countries like Ukraine to help our American citizens get cheap cancer treatments.

It’s 18 patients. Too small to reach any conclusions.

Translation: We will never hear of this again

FDA will get around to evaluating it in 20 years or so.

They’ll squelch that somehow.

Trust the government to keep something that actually benefits us from being available.

Joe Biden has done it. He has cured cancer. Amazing. He will forever be known as the man who cured cancer.

This is how the plot of "I am Legend" opened into a worldwide disease (i.e., 'cancer cure', though this one isn't virus-based).

I Am Legend is a 2007 American post-apocalyptic action thriller film loosely based on the 1954 novel of the same name by Richard Matheson. Directed by Francis Lawrence from a screenplay by Akiva Goldsman and Mark Protosevich, the film stars Will Smith as US Army virologist Robert Neville. It is set in New York City after a virus, which was originally created to cure cancer, has wiped out most of mankind, leaving Neville as the last human in New York, other than nocturnal mutants.

I am leery of any drug ending in “mab” as many of them were developed using humanized mice (including this drug). List is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_therapeutic_monoclonal_antibodies

Some of these mice are humanized with fetal tissue/fetal stem cells and it is not always easy to find out which ones. Here are some:
