A new study published in The New England Journal of Medicine has shown that all 18 rectal cancer patients participating in an experimental drug trial went into remission following a six-month treatment.
The study, the Journal reported, was spearheaded by doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Drug maker GlaxoSmithKline also backed the research.
According to the study, 18 cancer patients who were given the experimental immunotherapy drug dostarlimab every three weeks for six months ended up in remission by the end of the trial.
A portion of the study read, “We initiated a prospective phase 2 study in which single-agent dostarlimab, an anti–PD-1 monoclonal antibody, was administered every 3 weeks for 6 months in patients with mismatch repair-deficient stage II or III rectal adenocarcinoma. This treatment was to be followed by standard chemoradiotherapy and surgery.”
The stunning study found that all 18 patients saw a "clinical response, with no evidence of tumor on magnetic resonance imaging" following the six-month regimen.
"At the time of this report, no patients had received chemotherapy or undergone surgery, and no cases of progression or recurrence had been reported during follow-up," the study added in its findings. "No adverse events of Grade 3 or higher have been reported."

ok, so when is this out for general distribution and treatment to patients everywhere? and at a reasonable cost?
It’s an impressive study. It will be interesting to see the next round.
Headline sounds like one of those “this one trick” clickbait headlines.
Is this drug cheap to manufacture and thus unprofitable?
This drug will be pulled and/or be made illegal similar to how Ivermectin was handled. De-populating the earth is the goal of Gates and cohorts. This simply cannot stand.
Big pharma doesn’t want to cure cancer. There’s no money in that. They just want to treat the symptoms.
“Is this drug cheap to manufacture and thus unprofitable?”
Non Sequitur
That is the common response. But the people of big pharma have friends and family too. Also, a sense of self preservation.
Every time I see rectal or anal cancer I think of Farrah Fawcet.
But greed overcomes all that.
Fasting. More effective than anything.
You’re 100% right.
Cancer, diabetes, COPD, mental illness, muscular dystrophy etc etc etc etc will never be cured. There’s no money in that. All the R&D, millions of ‘cottage industry’ jobs, machines, vaccines, chemo, radiation etc etc etc would be reduced or eliminated, along with the techs would be reduced or eliminated.
Waiting for the comments about evil big drug companies who are behind this.
Neanderthal BKMRK
It’s the magic bullet we’re all looking for. Not in our lifetime.
Exactly. There's much reason to be cautiously optimistic. 5 years wait time is the usual magic wait time to make sure cancer no longer shows up in scans, and even then you're not sure. Plus we're talking about only 18 people -- not exactly a large power study.
But definitely enough for a few high-fives.

RE: Shocking cancer study shows new treatment leaves every patient disease-free
That crowd now gathering at the FDA & the Capital are the lobbyist for the Big Pharma and the AMA.
All with ‘campaign donations’.
CEOs are enroute with giant gifts & donations for Biden.
The drug must be declared “for animal use only”
