A Stanford University study targeting cancer cells in laboratory mice has been generating buzz and hope.
A new experiment for cancer treatment had incredible results using immune-stimulators to target tumors in mice. Specifically activating T cells in tumors eliminated even distant metastases in mice, according to a study published this week by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
In all, 87 of 90 mice were cured of the cancer. Although the cancer recurred in three of the mice, the tumors again regressed after a second treatment, according to the peer-reviewed research.
Mice genetically engineered to develop breast cancers in all 10 of their mammary pads also responded to the treatment. Treating the first tumor that arose often prevented the occurrence of future tumors and increased the animals' life span, researchers found.
The approach works for many different types of cancers, including those that arise spontaneously, the study found.
