From my personal experience with advanced melanoma under a trial at NIH almost 12 years ago, Dr. Steven Rosenberg and his research team:
1. Surgically resected a tumor and removed the tumor attacking T cells in a lab,
2. expanded them in a lab to 130 billion,
3. returned them to me after making me immunosuppressed, and
4. kick started my new immune system with high-dose IL-2.
Within three months, my tumors were essentially gone.
I’ve been cancer-free since.
It seems to me that the body doesn’t have enough of the right T cells to fight the mutated, cancerous cells.
