A treatment to help the immune system fight cancer could soon be a reality. Scientists in the United States say they have found exceptional results with modified T-Cells for patients who would normally have just months to live. Researchers say they witnessed symptoms in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia disappear completely. Dr Carl Albrecht, Associate Researcher in the Biochemistry Department of Stellenbosch University, says he welcomes this breakthrough, but is concerned about the costs of treatment.
