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.
Now we await big pharma to throw as much money at congress as possible in hopes they ban this procedure in the United States.
Sweet-and-sour tumor?
Clever.
Also soon to be served at their wet markets.
Cure everyone but muslims
Gross. Will someone start marketing it as “The other synthetic white meat”?
A novel approach. I hope it works for some folks.
My last years’ bill at UNC Cancer Hospital was over $440K.
The reason they simulated pig material in the cancer was because most organ transplants are from pigs yet the human body still sees that as foreign and will attack it, a medical lab would most easily be able to replicate pig elements to inject into the cancer seeing how as they use pig material all the time
What an interesting line of research. I suppose it limits the attack to the cancer cells only, or does it attack several organs like Chemotherapy does? I have several relatives who have died cancer free but were killed by the poison of chemo and radiation.
“Also soon to be served at their wet markets.”
Okay, at least I wasn’t alone in going there.
I have racked up over $2 million in a ten year battle. Big Pharma can’t afford for me to die.
Oh, goodie!
Mmmmm...Tumor fried rice :-)
Let me see, Anadolu Ajansı News Service tells us that the inscrutable Chinese are turning cancer cells into pork? Sounds an awful like a pig in a poke to me.
I’ll wait until someone else duplicates their results before I cheer.
Encouraged by this report. Hopefully some approach like this will pay off. Cancer is nasty business.
Get this out to the Middle East at once!
Way to go China!!
Its not a tumah.
“I’ll wait until someone else duplicates their results before I cheer.”
Pfizer will make sure this is never researched here
I’ll take the mu-shu tumor with green tea, wonton soup and water.
