BOSTON — Can the cure for deadly cancers be in the cancer itself?
Boston scientists in groundbreaking research have used a new way to turn cancer cells into potent, anti-cancer agents.
The Brigham and Women’s Hospital researchers created a cancer vaccine to simultaneously kill and prevent the deadly brain cancer glioblastoma. The team developed a new cell therapy approach to eliminate established tumors and induce long-term immunity — training the immune system so that it can prevent cancer from recurring.
