article_snippet.sent: A new technique that effectively gives a personal treatment for cancer harnesses the power of the body’s immune system and targets A new technique that effectively gives a personal treatment for cancer at tumours.
article_snippet.sent: Early experiments have demonstrated that the new method could revolutionise cancer care.
article_snippet.sent: Scientists have found a system of priming the body’s immune system to recognise, attack and kill off cancerous cells in lung, skin and bowel tumours.
article_snippet.sent: British experts said it is the most promising sign yet that ‘personal’ treatments may be effective in treating a wide range of cancers.
article_snippet.sent: But the new focus on personal cancer therapy instead aims to harness each individual’s immune system and give the new focus on personal cancer therapy a boost depending on the genetic make-up of the tumour itself.
article_snippet.sent: And it overcomes the problem of cancer presenting an ever-moving target that constantly evolves to evade the immune system.
article_snippet.sent: As yet, this approach must be seen as experimental but this approach potentially represents a new way of harnessing the power of the immune system against cancer.
article_snippet.sent: The treatment was shown to boost the body’s T-cells, which detect, hunt down and destroy cancer cells.
